The Stress Reset Smoothie to Support Your Nervous System
The Stress Reset Smoothie to Support Your Nervous System
In today’s fast-paced world, chronic stress has become the norm. Whether it’s juggling work, family, or the constant barrage of notifications on our phones, modern life can take a serious toll on the nervous system, often leading to anxiety, insomnia, chronic fatigue, and burnout.
The good news? Nature has given us powerful tools to help nourish and repair our bodies and it all starts with food.
Certain nutrient-dense foods have an incredible ability to calm the nervous system, balance blood sugar, and directly support the adrenal glands. When you give your body the right support, you can feel more grounded, energized, and resilient.
Why Your Adrenals Matter
Your adrenal glands sit just above your kidneys and are responsible for producing key hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones regulate your metabolism, blood pressure, immune function, and how you respond to stress.
When your adrenals are overworked, it can leave you feeling drained, foggy, anxious, or “wired but tired.” That’s where food-based healing comes in.
A Simple, Nourishing Solution: The Stress Reset Creamsicle Smoothie
This creamy, dreamy smoothie is more than just a treat, it’s a therapeutic elixir for your endocrine and nervous systems. Designed to be enjoyed first thing in the morning (and even again before bed), it helps stabilize blood sugar, quiet the stress response, and provide key nutrients that support both your adrenals and thyroid.
Ingredients:
4oz–6oz unpasteurized orange juice
2 scoops collagen (grass-fed, unflavored is ideal)
2 tbsp raw, organic coconut cream
½ tsp pink salt or sea salt
Why it works:
Orange juice (unpasteurized) is rich in vitamin C, a key nutrient for adrenal function.
Collagen delivers amino acids to help rebuild tissue and support hormone production.
Coconut cream provides healthy fats that stabilize blood sugar and calm the nervous system.
Salt (especially mineral-rich varieties like pink or sea salt) replenishes electrolytes depleted by chronic stress.
Food is Powerful Medicine
Your body is incredibly wise and it responds quickly when given the right tools. Using food as medicine doesn’t have to be restrictive or complicated. It can be simple, comforting, and deeply healing.
Incorporating something as gentle as this Stress Reset Smoothie into your routine can have a ripple effect of healing across your entire system.
Start small. Start with food. Your Nervous System will thank you.
