My Go-To Tropical Smoothie Detox Smoothie for Beating PMS and PCOS Symptoms

Need a detox that doesn’t taste like grass? Try my Tropical Smoothie Detox Smoothie! With avocado, cilantro, and a zesty lemon kick, this smoothie helps me survive PMS and PCOS—without turning into a hangry monster. Grab the recipe and thank me later!

Let me tell you, this tropical smoothie detox smoothie is my jam. When my body decides to wage war against me with the fury of PMS symptoms (thanks, PCOS), I need something that gives me a detox without tasting like grass.

I’ve also previously talked a lot about blood sugar and PMS. There is a clear link for me and I think for a lot of people too, not realising how much of my symptoms were actually driven by overly high insulin spikes to food (not everyone has this). I’ve tested bananas too! And I’ll tell you why I’ve added them in this one.

Enter this smoothie, which I lovingly refer to as “The Smoothie of Sweet Relief.” It’s packed with goodness, easy to make, and—let’s be honest—perfect for detoxing without putting me into a kale-induced coma.

Why I Love This Tropical Smoothie Detox

Okay, picture this: It’s a hot afternoon, I’m bloated, irritable, and thinking about how chocolate could solve all my problems.

You can also use this as a blood sugar friendly breakfast idea. I make it the night before and usually lasts for two days.

But instead of reaching for a candy bar, I decide to whip up this tropical detox smoothie instead. The best part? It doesn’t taste like a salad in a glass, which is exactly what I want when I’m trying to get my body back in check.

So, let me break it down for you. This smoothie is the perfect balance of refreshing, energizing, and gentle on the stomach. Add in some protein yoghurt (if you’re up for the dairy) – because it adds a ton more protein to it.

Between the banana, avocado, cilantro, and the magic of hemp protein, it really helps clear the fog and boosts my energy—exactly what I need during my PMS blues.

Not to mention, it’s full of healthy fats and fiber to keep me feeling full and nourished, without that sluggish post-snack feeling.

Ingredients for the Ultimate Tropical Detox Smoothie

I’m all about simplicity. I’m not here for a 15-ingredient smoothie that requires a shopping cart’s worth of superfoods. This detox smoothie is straightforward, with ingredients you can actually find in your kitchen (or your nearest grocery store). Here’s what you need:

• 1/4 banana (yes, just a little bit! It’s enough for the natural sweetness)
• 3 cubes of mango (optional, but I love it for a tropical zing)
• Monkfruit sweetener (you know I’m all about keeping it sugar-free)
• 3 tablespoons of hemp protein (because your girl needs protein but not the bloat)
• Half an avocado (healthy fats = magic)
• 1 cup of water (to keep it all moving)
• A handful of fresh cilantro (this adds a zesty kick you didn’t know you needed)
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (for that refreshing citrus punch)

I love to blend everything up and get that smooth, creamy goodness that’s basically a tropical vacation in a cup. Plus, it’s the perfect way to detox when your body is, well, not feeling its best.

How This Smoothie Helps Me

Alright, confession time: I might have a love-hate relationship with my body during PMS. With PCOS in the mix, the hormonal rollercoaster feels like a never-ending ride, and the struggle to keep my energy up is REAL. But here’s the kicker—this tropical smoothie detox has become my secret weapon.

When those PMS cramps hit and my hormones are doing the cha-cha, I’ve found that the healthy fats from the avocado, the protein from the hemp, and the zing of cilantro work wonders. It’s like a reset for my body. The ingredients help flush out toxins (bye, bloating!), support my hormones, and give me the gentle boost I need to get through the day without needing a nap every five minutes.

I even made a batch of this smoothie one afternoon when I felt like a walking mood swing. Let’s just say it was a game-changer. The combination of fiber from the banana and avocado keeps me full, the hemp protein stabilizes my blood sugar, and the cilantro acts like a natural detoxer. Trust me, this smoothie will give you that extra push to power through even the worst PMS days.

The Power of Hemp Protein for PCOS and Detoxing

If you’re anything like me, you’re probably tired of hearing about all these “magical” superfoods that seem to solve everything except world peace.

But I’m not joking when I say hemp protein is a total lifesaver. Hemp protein is packed with amino acids, which help balance hormones and keep your metabolism humming along nicely—key for managing PCOS. It also helps stabilize blood sugar, so you’re not crashing after every meal.

I’ll admit, I didn’t jump on the hemp protein bandwagon right away.

But once I gave it a try, I was hooked. It’s easy to digest, supports muscle repair (yes, even if you’re not working out like a fitness influencer), and gives me that boost of energy without making me feel jittery.

Plus, it’s an easy way to sneak in a little extra protein without resorting to a protein bar that tastes like cardboard.

How to Make the Tropical Smoothie Detox

Making this smoothie is as easy as blending your favorite tropical vacation with a little detox magic. Here’s how I whip it up:

1. Add the liquids: Start with 1 cup of water to help get everything blending smoothly.
2. Throw in the fruits: Pop in your 1/4 banana, 3 cubes of mango (optional, but totally worth it), and half an avocado.
3. Sprinkle in the goodies: Add 3 tablespoons of hemp protein, a handful of cilantro (this is where the magic happens), and a tablespoon of lemon juice.
4. Blend away: Let the blender work its magic, and enjoy the zesty, tropical flavors that make you feel like you’re on a beach (but you’re actually sitting on your couch in sweatpants).

Final Thoughts: Why This Detox Smoothie is My PMS Savior

I’ve made a lot of smoothies in my time (I mean, who hasn’t?), but this one is special.

It’s a quick, low-carb, high-protein drink that really helps when my PCOS throws me for a loop.

Plus, it’s kind of like a mini detox without all the weird, over-the-top cleansing ingredients. I’ve come to rely on it during my PMS days, and now it’s a staple in my kitchen.

If you’re looking for a smoothie that won’t make you feel like you’ve just gulped down a salad but still gives you the detox benefits your body craves, this tropical detox smoothie is where it’s at.

Give it a try next time your body is ready to quit on you—your taste buds will thank you!
