Leafy greens and chia seeds are the ultimate superfoods but did you know they can also heal a literal broken heart. I’ve been trying to focus on being more mindful and putting healing foods into my body considering everything i’ve been through in the last several months and more recently few weeks.

The heart chakra is at the centre of the body where the heart is located. It is the energy centre that radiates love, joy and happiness. it also allows us to feel sorrow, mourning , sadness and anger. It connects to all our other chakras and usually the one we notice most easily when it is out of whack. Having an out of whack heart chakra allows for the more negative emotions we feel to manifest, sadness and anger.

If you can feel your heart is broken there are several things you can do, step outside for some fresh air (depending on where you’re located this might not be ideal), spend time amongst green foliage, or take care of plant. Enjoy lots of green foods, like leafy greens, broccoli and Brussel sprouts. A green smoothie is the perfect way to treat your heart.

My green smoothie is relatively simple, I sometimes switch it up but it’s usually very similar. You will need.

1 cup of green Kale

1 cup of spinach

3 tablespoons chia seeds

1 cup of frozen blueberries

1 banana

1 cup of water or dairy free milk

I sometimes will add peanut butter and hemp hearts depending how I'm feeling. I usually like to use water just because I find that the milk doesn’t necessarily go with a green smoothie the best. I don’t have the greatest blender and even it does the job for this simple smoothie. I will usually have a smoothie at least 3 times a week but until I feel I have healed I am going to make it more of a daily thing. So cheers to happy healthy hearts.
