The Glow Up Perimenopause Shake is a simple and nourishing way to support your body through the hormonal changes that often begin in your 40s. As women enter perimenopause, shifts in hormone levels can affect metabolism, energy levels, sleep, and body composition. Choosing nutrient-dense foods that support balance and satiety can make a meaningful difference in how you feel day to day.

One of the key benefits of this shake is its high protein content, which becomes increasingly important as we age. Adequate protein intake helps support muscle maintenance, keeps you fuller for longer, and can help stabilise blood sugar levels throughout the day. Including protein-rich meals and snacks can also support a healthy metabolism and sustained energy.

This shake is also high in fibre, an essential nutrient for digestive health and metabolic balance. Fibre helps nourish beneficial gut bacteria, supports regular digestion, and contributes to feeling satisfied after meals. A fibre-rich diet may also help support cholesterol levels and overall gut health during midlife.

Another important feature of this recipe is the inclusion of ingredients naturally rich in phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are plant compounds that can gently mimic estrogen activity in the body. For women aged 40 and older, foods rich in phytoestrogens may help support hormonal balance during the perimenopausal transition.

Combined with antioxidant-rich berries, this refreshing shake is a delicious and practical way to nourish your body during this stage of life.

  • 1 cup or 250ml soya milk
