Natural Energy Booster

To celebrate Halloween, I've added some goodness to the classic pumpkin spice smoothie by adding in some ground flaxseed. Cinnamon and pumpkin are good at keeping your sugar level stable. While banana is a good source of potassium to maintain your blood pressure at a healthy level. With the addition of flaxseed, this smoothie can aid to lower your cholesterol level. It also assists in weigh control as it is high in fiber. If you are in a bad mood, the tryptophan from the banana will keep you at a happy mood.
