Health and fertility benefits of PBJ and Hemp Smoothie

Fresh spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, all of which have significant roles in reducing inflammation in the body, all of which help in the case of infertility. Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Hemp seeds are high in gamma linolenic acid (GLA), an essential omega-6 fatty acid that is believed to naturally balance hormones.

Ingredients

1 cup coconut water (preferably preservative free)
1 packed cup or 1 big handful baby spinach
1 cup frozen strawberries
2 tablespoons hemp seeds, plus 1 tablespoon for serving, optional
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (made with raw or dry-roasted peanuts, no sugar)
1/2 banana

Instructions

Blend the coconut water, spinach, strawberries, hemp seeds, peanut butter, banana and 3 ice cubes in a blender on low speed until everything begins to combine. Raise the setting to high and blend until everything is well combined and the smoothie begins to have a creamy consistency. Taste; if you like it colder, add more ice cubes and continue blending until smooth.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of hemp seeds if using.
