Cherry Lime Smoothie

It’s hard to beat the flavor combination of cherries, dates, bananas, and lime zest. This smoothie brings it all: it’s sweet, tart, and creamy. If you prefer a frosty and extra creamy smoothie, you can use frozen bananas and/or cherries. This smoothie tastes great with water or coconut water as the liquid base, but you could also use some almond milk if you want something extra indulgent.

Cherries are a great source of melatonin, a nutrient-based hormone that helps your neurotransmitters and glial cells.

Bananas provide amino acids and the right kind of potassium to rebuild neurotransmitters.

Dates contain potassium, magnesium, and glucose that support your endocrine system.
