I love coming up with new smoothie recipes! It’s so much fun to think of all the possible yummy Flo-food combinations. It’s a little science experiment in your kitchen. As you know, I like to keep the rest of my meal planning super simple, but my smoothies are where I like to get creative and experimental! And, as I always have your health first in my thoughts, I wanted to come up with the ultimate smoothie recipes that truly bring to life the idea of using good food as your medicine.
So I got out my prescription pad and jotted down the best treatments in the form of tasty fruit, veggie and nut blends (plus some other surprising ingredients!) that will help to heal your PMS, fatigue, low libido and infertility issues.
Tip: Embrace the smoothie bowl trend and blend half of the recipes’ ingredients to pour on top of the unblended other half. Great for breakfast or a snack!
