A bright, tropical smoothie made with pineapple, banana, and a little turmeric, my go-to for that time of the month.
I know the urge to grab that chocolate bar during that time of the month is strong (believe me), but certain foods like salty potato chips can worsen the bloat and water retention you’re already dealing with.
What’s in it
- Greek Yogurt: Makes it thick and creamy, with a tangy flavor and a little protein.
- Pumpkin Seeds: A sprinkle adds a subtle nutty crunch.
- Bananas: Add natural sweetness and a creamy texture.
- Pineapple: Brings bright, tropical sweetness, and it’s the main flavor here.
- Turmeric: Just a little for a warm, earthy note and a golden color. Start small, it is potent.

Wonderful smoothie and the color is gorgeous. Thank you!
Happy to hear you liked it! Thanks for kind words 🙂
It helped with my cramps and made me feel completely refreshed. I was relieved, although for it to last all day, it would have had to have been repeatedly made, although I guess we have Advil for that! It was absolutely delicious, too!
