    You having one of those days where you need to chill out and eat or drink something to take away the stress? This healthy lavender smoothie will definitely help reduce your stress and anxiety. I've taste-tested this multiple times, and my stomach is the ever-vigilant guide—it has basically filled the position as my life coach (#foodismylovelanguage).

    How to Make a Healthy Lavender Smoothie

    This smoothie is what I like to call an aromatherapy massage for the taste buds, stomach, and mind. Truly! Have you ever added lavender to your beverages? It's like drinking a bottle of tranquility. I highly recommend it. In the form of this lavender blueberry smoothie, obviously.

    Here are the things you need this smoothie:

    • Lavender
    • Frozen banana
    • Apple
    • Blueberries
    • Chia Seeds
    • Coconut oil and water
    • Honey
    • Lemon juice
    • High-powered blender. This is the one I use and love.

    Is lavender safe to eat?

    A question you might be wondering...

    "Is it safe to eat lavender?"

    Yes! Research suggests that it can actually help calm and reduce anxiety, in addition to helping with depression. Making this a great breakfast or afternoon treat, especially on a hot, swampy day when you're feeling BLEGH.

    I buy my lavender from Mountain Rose Herbs, which is where I buy all of my herbs.
