Two ingredients, a thousand reasons: why strawberry and pumpkin seed smoothie is a real treasure for the body

This exceptional drink will amaze you both with its taste and its nutritional and healing value. For this incredible combination of flavors, you only need two ingredients, each very tasty and nutritious on its own, but together their effects don’t just add up—they multiply.
Ingredients:

• strawberries
  
• 30 grams of pumpkin seeds

Preparation:

Preparing the drink is extremely simple. It’s best to use fresh strawberries, but you can also use frozen ones or substitute any other kind of berry. The essential thing is that vitamins and minerals, when combined with healthy fats, are absorbed up to four times faster and more easily. This means the body gets significantly more nutrients than usual.

Adjust the amount of pumpkin seeds as you like. If you want a thicker juice, add more seeds, but never let the weight of the seeds exceed the weight of the fruit.

If you use 30 grams of pumpkin seeds, you’ll get 13 grams of healthy fats, of which 6 grams are omega-6. With one such drink, you will get 42% of the daily requirement for manganese, 37% for magnesium (studies show that 79% of adult Europeans suffer from dangerously low magnesium levels), 33% for phosphorus, 23% for iron, 14% for zinc...

We also mustn’t forget about the very high concentration of antioxidants such as carotenoids and vitamin E. Antioxidants reduce inflammation and protect cells from harmful radicals. There is a very noteworthy study in which a group of rats was given a teaspoon of pumpkin seed oil daily (this is about the same proportion as for an adult human). Even after just a few days, the rats practically “miraculously” recovered.

In addition, regular consumption of at least one glass of this juice a day helps and protects against inflammation, and several studies confirm that the drink reduces the risk of breast cancer. It is very beneficial for women in menopause. It improves the health of the prostate and bladder. It regulates blood pressure, heart, and bone health. It lowers blood sugar levels by up to 30%.

And one more possibly very important fact: a glass of this drink contains 200 calories.
