The PMS Cure!

Every month I suffer from mood swings, bloating, major major food cravings and my insides going a bit nutty. Many of you women understand what I’m talking about…. PMS! Premenstrual syndrome is something that so many of us suffer from every single month and sometimes it seems like it takes over most of our month!

Today on one of my favorite shows, The Doctors, they showed a fabulous recipe for a PMS smoothie. Yes a researched smoothie that will help with this monthly problem we all have. I haven’t tried this yet, although I do have similar homemade smoothies.

The PMS Smoothie Ingredients:
• 1 cup low-fat yogurt
• 8 oz. orange juice
• 1 cup fresh strawberries
• 1 banana
• 1 tablespoon molasses (or to taste)

Add ingredients to blender and blend approximately 45 seconds. Add ice if necessary.

Can’t wait to try this. Let me know if you have tried it and what you think.
