We know how it goes: you get a fun new powder, and then you think, “Oh…but what should I put it in?” So we're thrilled that MPOWDER’s team put together these recipes, each one with a different focus (brain fog, inflammation, insomnia...and smoothie fatigue).
We also know: you would like all of the above areas of focus, all at once. The good thing is that Meno-Boost itself will help with a whole kitchen sink full of needs. The other good thing is that now you have all these recipes in one place, so you can try a new one every day.

The Brain Fog Fixer
This creamy, cinnamon-spiced blend supports memory, focus, and stress resilience. Perfect for mornings when clarity feels just out of reach.
Ingredients:
1 small banana (rich in vitamin B6)
20g Meno-Boost
1 tbsp almond butter (magnesium + healthy fat for brain function)
½ tsp cinnamon (may help with blood sugar regulation)
1 tsp maca powder (energy and libido support)
250ml unsweetened almond or oat milk
Ice cubes (optional)
Why it works:
Meno-Boost contains ashwagandha, maca, and Ahiflower® oil to help balance stress, while cinnamon and almonds aid blood sugar and cognitive stability.
Instructions: Blend all ingredients until smooth.
The Anti-Inflammatory Powerhouse
Created to ease joint pain, bloating, and systemic inflammation—a go-to for recovery after travel or a restless night.
Ingredients:
20g Meno-Boost
½ cup frozen mango (vitamin C and digestive enzymes)
1 tsp turmeric root or powder (anti-inflammatory)
Pinch of black pepper (boosts curcumin absorption)
1 tbsp flaxseed (source of lignans and fibre)
250ml oat milk or water
Why it works:
Meno-Boost contains lemon balm, slippery elm, and Ahiflower®, which can reduce inflammatory symptoms when used consistently. Adding turmeric and flax elevates this further.
Instructions: Blend all ingredients until smooth.
The Sleep Soother
Evening smoothie or late-afternoon ritual? This gentle blend supports melatonin production and reduces nervous energy, helping prepare the body for better rest.

1 tsp raw honey or date syrup
1 tbsp hemp seeds (magnesium + protein)
