Magnesium Chocolate Thickshake
Why this is peri-perfect… Many women in perimenopause feel more stressed, overstimulated, tired, and wired - which is why magnesium has become such a talked-about mineral in midlife wellness. This smoothie combines several magnesium-rich ingredients, including cacao, pumpkin seeds, avocado, and magnesium powder, alongside protein and healthy fats to help support nervous system regulation, muscle recovery, blood sugar balance, cravings, and sleep.

250ml unsweetened almond milk
170g light Greek yoghurt

1 tsp magnesium powder
1 tsp maple syrup or 1 Medjool date (optional)
4 ice cubes
Pinch cinnamon + tiny pinch sea salt
Instructions
