The best juice recipe to prevent PMS symptoms, from bloating to mood swings

PMS is not normal. I mean - statistically speaking, a lot of women do suffer with PMS - but you as a FLO insider, don’t have to! PMS is not necessary or unavoidable or a given when you’re female. You don’t have to suffer with PMS symptoms - the bloating, acne, mood swings, fatigue, anxiety, cravings. I used to and now I don’t, and it was as simple as changing my diet habits. I figured out what foods and recipes would prevent PMS.

Once I recognized I had PMS, that I experienced these symptoms during my pre-menstrual or luteal phase, and once I recognized that the root cause was a hormonal imbalance, I could make active, educated decisions that eventually lead me to a PMS-free life. Yes, a PMS-free life, it’s possible, for every single woman. All it takes is selecting the foods and recipes that prevent PMS. I’m not special or particularly blessed to not experience PMS - I just eat the right foods at the right time to prevent the hormonal imbalance that causes all PMS symptoms. You can do it too!

A juice recipe to prevent PMS

Because I know we’re all so busy and we’re all time-strapped, ambitious, hustling women and mothers with a lot on our hands, I’ve created the perfect juice recipe that tackles all of your PMS symptoms. This juice gives your body what it needs to prevent hormonal imbalance, provides a nutrient-dense variety of PMS-fighting foods in concentrated form, and is so, so, so easy to make up every day during your pre-menstrual phase to make sure you feel great the whole time. Juicing is such an easy, effective way to get the vitamins and minerals your body needs during this phase of your cycle. It doesn’t add to your schedule, it doesn’t take much effort, it doesn’t even take much planning ahead. Just grab the ingredients on your grocery shop and whizz one up every morning.

This delicious concoction will:

• Reduce water retention
• Help your liver break down excess estrogen
• Increase mood-stabilizing hormones

PMS is caused by higher levels of estrogen that go unopposed by enough progesterone – the kale, cilantro will help with this and the beet will provide healthy carbohydrates to prevent moodiness and fatigue. Drink it every day the week before your period. Something to look forward to in what used to be a dreaded week!

For fun - something we all need more of when we’re pre-menstrual - I like to serve this up for myself and my girlfriends in a martini glass! I call it the Anti Bloat-ini. Make it feel like a treat, because it is - it’s bliss not to experience PMS!
