Health and fertility benefits of Strawberry Protein Flax Smoothie

Flaxseed can be used to combat PCOS as it helps decrease androgen levels. It contains lignans that increase the production of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) that binds testosterone in the blood, thereby preventing it from wreaking havoc in the body. Being high in fiber, flaxseed helps slow down glucose metabolism and lower cholesterol levels. The omega-3 fatty acids in this flaxseed also reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease.

Ingredients

3 cups frozen strawberries
1 tbsp ground flax seed
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/2 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
1/3 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Pour all ingredients into blender in the following order - milk, flax, sugar, yogurt, strawberries and then 2 cups of ice cubes.

2. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and you hear no ice or frozen fruit rattling in the unit. (You may need to stir once with long spoon to redistribute ingredients).

3. Pour into glasses, garnish with a fresh strawberry or sprig of mint and serve immediately.
