So what to have instead? Moore recommends her patients a smoothie with ingredients including frozen berries, coconut kefir, black seed oil (“a true superstar that has a ton of evidence”), a medicinal mushroom blend, an egg yolk, and bone broth powder. She advises against using a banana unless it is “very under-ripe”. The result is “not pretty and definitely not sweet”, but it won’t induce a sugar spike like the smoothies on offer around town, and will be a fraction of the cost to make at home.
