That ~ time ~ of the month is always difficult. Tossing and turning at night and having to wake up in the morning and face the day can be difficult when all you want to do is lay in bed and wait for those cramps to pass.
Luckily, this smoothie recipe is a miracle-worker, because every single ingredient in it is not only healthy, but also fights cramps, bloating and pain tied to your period.
After watching this video, you'll totally want to do a grocery run. Instead of grabbing a bottle of wine and ice cream, try picking up some fruits and veggies like pineapple, bananas and carrots might actually save the day and relieve those cramps, ease that bloating and detox the body. Another amazing ingredient not to forget is turmeric, which is our favorite these days. Turmeric is an incredible anti-inflammatory that will reduce those menstrual pains.
So next time you're feeling those period cramps intensely, make yourself this healthy, cramp-busting smoothie you so deserve.
