I have been making this smoothie for years during my Luteal Phase and it's lovingly known as my PMS Craving Crusher smoothie. I always crave rich chocolate and almond butter during my luteal phase and it's for good reason the magnesium and minerals in this smoothie are exactly what your body needs to prepare for your menstrual phase. Rich in healthy fats from almond butter and the natural mood-boosting properties of cacao, this smoothie helps balance blood sugar and curb cravings. This smoothie is rich in magnesium and potassium to help with fluid retention during your Luteal phase. With added protein, it provides lasting energy and helps maintain steady moods, making it an ideal nourishing smoothie for this time in your cycle.
