[CYCLE PHASES] Are smoothies supportive in every phase of your cycle?

Published: May 25, 2021, 8 a.m.

I cannot wait for you to dive into this episode! We're chatting all things smoothies & cycle phases.

There are different nutritional needs in each phase of your cycle (Follicular, Ovulation, Luteal, Menstruation). If we don’t support those hormonal changes & what our body truly needs it can cause PMS symptoms & imbalances.

  • Once progesterone comes into the mix after ovulation it acts as a muscle relaxer so it also relaxes the contractions in our intestines so they are not as easily able to move things through.
  • This is why people can feel constipated leading up to that.
  • While raw foods are amazing & full of nutrients & enzymes they are harder to digest. So it might be a good idea for you to switch up your breakfast in the second half of your cycle (LUTEAL & MENSTRUATION PHASE) if you’re feeling super bloated after a smoothie that you previously did not feel bloated after in the first half of your cycle (follicular & ovulation).
  • Other breakfast options: Chia seed pudding, avocado toast, tofu scramble, Pumpkin protein pancakes.
  • In your LUTEAL phase think root vegetables & whole grains to help digestion
  • Smoothies during your period could actually make cramps worse (contracting everything)
