By popular demand, finally posting this recipe I shared on social media for cramps associated with PMS:
- handful of kale;
- handful of pineapple (if frozen dont need to use ice but if not then can add ice);
- frozen mango (or can use banana or berries- this is just to balance the flavor of the smoothie);
- 2 tablespoons of whole flaxseeds;
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil;
- 1 scoop CTRL+CMND + RELAX powder;
- I used water but you can use non-dairy milk of choice.
Ingredient breakdown:
* Kale is rich minerals, is a source of sulforaphane which helps balance inflammation and increase antioxidant status.
* Pineapple contains bromelain to help decrease pain, inflammation and calm bloating.
* Flax seeds are an excellent source of fiber and helps promote healthy estrogen metabolism.
* CTRL CMND RELAX powder contains magnesium which is great for calming cramping. Also contains L-theanine, GABA and Taurine to help calm any edge if you get mood swings with your periods and inositol to balance sugar cravings.
