For that time of the month when all you want to do is indulge, consider this smoothie your ally. Cherries (which are rich in beta carotene and vitamin C), coconut milk, and bananas combine for a heart-healthy sip that could help treat PMS symptoms.

But the real genius is whats hidden inside: capsules of HUM Moody Bird, broken open to add in Vitex (a berry tree extract) and Dong quai (a Chinese herb), which areknown for their powers to relieve cramps and irritability.

I love showing people that you can add in capsule supplements to foods, especially smoothies, Casperosays. For people who dont enjoy taking pills, breaking them open and adding to smoothies (or other foods) is a great alternative. Drink it daily in the week leading up to your period for maximum results.
