How often do you find yourself sitting on your couch with a warming pad & huge bowl of chocolaty stuff? It's your period again! And many of us are overtaken by food cravings which are near impossible to ignore.
Here’s a smoothie recipe you’ll enjoy, it’ll not make you feel tired and bloated like that chocolate dessert you were going to have, and according to Jenny Sugar (popsugar.com) it’ll provide some relief – also, I love cashews!
Luckily, our creamy, chocolaty smoothie satisfies sugary cravings while also easing PMS symptoms.
The smoothie is made with Greek yogurt and [cocoa powder] ... to not only satisfy chocolate cravings but also provide calcium, which has been shown to help reduce PMS.
There’s also fiber-rich spinach, full of B vitamins such as riboflavin and thiamine, proven to decrease PMS symptoms.
The banana and cashews offer magnesium, which relieves bloating and constipation and also eases cramps.
Then throw in some avocado, since studies show healthy fats can also reduce symptoms, and sip PMS goodbye.
