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!

What product of Royal Jelly and which brand would you recommend?
It would be helpful to have actual recipes with amounts, not just ingredients. I don’t know quite how to make a smoothie with just a list of items. Measurements would be helpful. Also, what is sunbutter? Never heard of that. Thank you.
sunbutter is like peanut butter but made out of sunflower seeds
Do you have measurements for the ingredients? I would hate to waste good produce because I measure spices incorrectly and it ends up tasting terrible. 😀
(I know, I know, I’m one of those cooks who needs measurements. LOL. I’m not good with just throwing stuff in unless it’s a recipe I’ve made many times.)
Me too. Please. measurements anyone?
Yes, I’d like the measurements too, at least to start with. I don’t always go with them 100% once I’m used to a recipe.
I am 63yrs menopausal for thirteen yrs, will the smoothies be beneficial for me?
I was told that when you use any seeds, (like sesame above) in a recipe, they should be ground like we do with coffee. Other wise they are not digested and go right through you, can you comment? (flax, chia etc)
Hello,
Thank you for this great info. You don’t mention any quantities for these recipes. Does it matter how much or how little to use? Also, any suggestions for where to get Royal Jelly and what kind? And how often should one drink these / how quickly should we see results? And finally, if you don’t like one of the ingredients, such as coconut water or cardamom, will it mean you won’t get the same benefit if you omit that ingredient?
Hope to hear from you.
Best Wishes,
Nadine
The measurements for the ingredients would be very helpful. If you could provide these it would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Gina,
Ramona listed the measurements that she used, so you can use that as a guide! But basically play with it until you find the right mixture that tastes good to you!

I just did the PMS Pumpkin One and here were the measurements I used….
1 cup of almond milk
3/4 cup of pumpkin puree {can prob do 1/2 too}
2 dates
2 tbsp sunbutter {it’s sunflower butter}
a heavy dash of cinnamon and nutmeg
a bit of himalayan pink salt {I wouldn’t include that much of this because you can taste the saltiness}
all in all, delish! enjoy! xo
Do you add ice or something to these? Sorry, I’m a smoothie newbie.
I just made the Passion Pour and after tasting it decided to create my own version. I added vanilla protein powder and turmeric to give the smoothie extra flavor and nutrition! Came out SUPER delicious!! I fancied a turmeric latte/golden milk but couldn’t be bothered with making a paste and it’s summer, so wanted a cold smoothie. This was a great way to get a healthy (and yummy!) dose of turmeric into my diet!
Measurements:
1.5-2 cups almond milk
5-6 frozen strawberries
1/4 avocado
1/2 tsp honey (optional)
Pinch cayenne
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 scoop Vanilla protein powder (I used Aria from Trader Joe’s)
Enjoy!
And I added 1 tbsp of coconut milk!
I’d like to know why and how each ingredient is beneficial for which hormone. thanks.
What are the measurements for the smoothies?
what can I use in place of pumpkin and banana please? I can’t eat either of them
You can use sweet potato puree/mashed and another fruit of choice (peach, pear, etc)
