High Blood Pressure Smoothie Recipe

This smoothie might help people with high blood pressure. Most cases of high blood pressure are caused by hardening of the arteries or even blockages. This results in that the heart has to work a lot harder to pump the blood through the body which is then called high blood pressure.

When someone has high blood pressure this can mean an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Generally middle aged people and overweight people are more affected by this.

In her book Raw Juices Can Save Your Life Sandra Cabot includes lots of recipes to help many healthy problems or issues ranging from high blood pressure, hormonal imbalances, colds to even headaches and many many more.

For this smoothie you will need
- 1 banana
- 1 cm slice pineapple
- 1 cup milk (oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk or rice milk)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

Put all the ingredients in the blender and enjoy your high blood pressure smoothie over some ice!

P.S. You can even enjoy this if you haven't high blood pressure; it still tastes yummy and is good for you!
