A Smoothies of the Soul Recipe
In a world that moves too fast, sometimes the most radical act is… Stillness.
This creamy chamomile smoothie is more than a beverage, it’s a ritual. A gentle, floral pause in the middle of your day. A soft exhale for your nervous system. A smoothie for your soul.
I’ve been leaning into this blend on evenings when I need to unwind or when my mind is racing faster than my breath. It’s simple, soothing, and infused with ingredients that speak the language of calm.
🫖 Ingredients:
- 1 cup brewed and chilled chamomile tea
(I use Cup of Calm® Tea from Traditional Medicinals, it’s an organic herbal blend featuring chamomile, lavender, and passionflower.) - 1 frozen banana
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk for creaminess)
- 1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of cinnamon
- A handful of ice (optional)
✨ Directions:
- Brew the Cup of Calm® Tea, then let it chill in the fridge for at least 15–20 minutes.
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour into your favorite glass. Sip slowly. Breathe deeply. Let your body soften
🌿 Why It Works:
- Chamomile + Passionflower = nature’s nervous system support.
- Banana adds natural sweetness and magnesium, a mineral your body loves when it’s feeling tense.
- Cinnamon and vanilla give warmth and soul to the flavor profile.
- Cold herbal tea instead of water or juice adds depth without spiking your blood sugar.
🌱 Soul Tip:
I like to pair this smoothie with a short journaling session, gentle music, or a 5-minute body scan meditation. It’s my way of turning nourishment into a ritual, not just a recipe.
