Brilliant Brain Breakfasts.
“Come along brain, time to feed the fog.”
Avocado’s are my go-to brain food for my ADHD.
Increasing the good fats allows our neurotransmitters to talk to each other better, thus regulating the balance of Dopamine and Norepinephrine (and Serotonin). The release and reload of these improve the executive functioning of our brain.
Hurrah!
It’s the vitamins, minerals and micronutrients that are key here, and it’s so worth finding out what you’re naturally deficient in so you can up your levels individually. **And this is the key part - you don’t want to stop your unique brain doing it’s thing…it really is a gift to be embraced, but by allowing our brains to be better balanced on dopamine and norepinephrine, then life with ADHD can be less volatile and with a calmer focus.
You, your brain, and all the components in it, are individual to you.
Tailoring a clever diet to your life with ADHD is the foundation.
** So for a super smoothie start to your day, take one Avocado and add in the rest:
1 tablespoon of the following:
Cacao Powder,
Milled Flaxseed,
Milled Chia Seed,
Baobab Powder,
Goldenberry,
Turmeric and Coconut Powder,
…and Oats.
Add 1 Banana, a handful of Blueberries and a cupful of Almond Milk (Or Coconut).
Whizz up together in a blender until thick and smoothie like.
I decant into a bowl, top with pine nuts and dried coconut and eat with a spoon.
