Calm Mind Protein Shake for a Calmer Gut and a Steadier Mood
At Eat Burn Sleep, we believe a healthy mind comes from a healthy gut. Our Calm Mind Protein Shake provides a sense of calm by nourishing your gut and giving your brain the nutritional building blocks it needs for healthy mood balance. If you’re wondering about a protein shake that does more than fuel your muscles, this calm protein blend is built exactly for that.
Protein powder and nut milk both provide essential amino acids used to make calming neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA. But did you know that 90% of serotonin is made in your gut? This is yet another reason why a healthy gut supports a healthy mind. Unlike a typical protein shake designed purely for workouts, this one is designed for calm.
Along with these amino acids, key nutrients like vitamin B6 and magnesium also support neurotransmitters. The frozen banana is a great source of both of these nutrients, as well as fiber to nourish the gut microbiome.
Orange blossom helps the nervous system relax, regulate emotions, and release anxiety and tension.
Saffron has powerful mood-lifting properties and is known to be as effective at alleviating depression as medications like Fluoxetine (Siddiqui et al, 2018).
You can enjoy the Calm Mind Protein Shake at any time of day but it is particularly good in the evening when you want to wind down before bed. Many members tell us, “I have protein shakes most days,” and this one becomes a favorite because its gentle, whole-food ingredients rarely leave you with a headache after drinking protein shake options that rely on artificial sweeteners or fillers.

Hi Tess, unfortunately you would have to consume about 10-15 tbsp of hemp seeds to match the same amount of protein. You could omit the protein powder and have another source of protein with your shake if you would prefer.

Hi, I really dislike the taste of any protein powders. What can I use as an alternative? Shelled hemp seeds? Thanks 😊
