If you’re living with PCOS, you’re probably familiar with the struggle of hormone swings, energy crashes, and the endless search for balance. This smoothie is here to help. Packed with nourishing fats, fiber, and plant-based adaptogens, it’s designed to support your hormones, stabilize blood sugar, and reduce inflammation, naturally.
With powerful herbal additions like maca, ashwagandha, and tribulus, this recipe goes a step beyond the typical smoothie to help support stress management, fertility, and hormonal regulation in women with PCOS.
🌺 Why These Herbs?
Let’s break down why these ingredients are popular in PCOS protocols:
- Maca Root Powder – Known for its ability to support hormone balance, energy, and libido. Maca doesn’t contain hormones but works through the hypothalamic-pituitary axis to help regulate them.
- Ashwagandha Powder – An ancient adaptogen that supports the adrenal glands and lowers cortisol levels, which is especially helpful if stress worsens your PCOS symptoms.
- Tribulus Terrestris – Often used to support ovulation and fertility. Tribulus may help regulate cycles and boost ovulation in some women with PCOS, particularly those with low LH/FSH ratios.
⚠️ Note: As with any supplement or herb, check with your healthcare provider, especially if you’re taking medications or trying to conceive.
