4 PCOS-Friendly Smoothies for Hormone Balance, Clear Skin & Energy! 🍓🥑💚
Youtube Video
As the weather warms up and we ease into spring, nothing sounds better to me than a refreshing, nutrient-packed smoothie—especially one that helps with hormone balance, clear skin, and energy levels! If you struggle with PCOS, acne, or mood swings, these four smoothies might be your new best friends.
I decided to try four different PCOS-friendly smoothies, each with a unique blend of ingredients to support hormonal health, reduce bloating, and give your body a natural boost. Some were a hit, and some... well, let’s just say they need a little work. Here’s how they turned out!
🍓 Berry Balance Smoothie – Antioxidants & Gut Health
This smoothie is packed with fiber, antioxidants, and protein—a perfect way to fuel your body while supporting balanced blood sugar. Plus, it's an easy go-to if you're craving something fruity!
Ingredients:
1 scoop vanilla (or banana) protein powder
½ cup mixed berries (or up to 1 cup for extra flavor!)
1 tbsp flaxseeds or chia seeds
½ avocado (adds creaminess + healthy fats)
1 cup almond/coconut/dairy milk
½ tsp cinnamon (blood sugar support)
Taste Test & Review:
Ok first off, I expected this one to be bright pink in color, but it blended up more purple. First sip? So good! The cinnamon was a game-changer and added the perfect touch of warmth. My only critique? I wish it had a stronger berry flavor, so next time, I’d add more berries.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
A solid smoothie that I’d definitely make again with slight tweaks!
🥬 Glow Green Smoothie – Bloating & Inflammation Relief
Green smoothies aren’t usually my first choice, but this one is designed to help fight bloating and reduce inflammation, making it perfect for PCOS. WE LOVE THAT!
Ingredients:
1 handful spinach
½ green apple (for sweetness & digestion)
1 tbsp flaxseeds
¼ tsp turmeric + a pinch of black pepper (anti-inflammatory combo)
1 tsp fresh ginger
1 scoop collagen protein
1 cup coconut milk
Taste Test & Review:
I was so excited for this one—I imagined it being a vibrant green, like a Swiffer pad (weird comparison, I know). And it gave the color, but the taste? Let’s just say it smelled like freshly cut grass, and drinking it felt like getting hit in the face by a lawnmower.
I get it—green smoothies are for health, not taste. But I want to actually enjoy drinking them, so I think this needs a punchier sweetness. Next time, I’d add more green apple or even pineapple to balance out the earthiness.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)
It’s giving “health is wealth,” but let’s tweak the flavor.
🌿 Mint Magic Smoothie – Spearmint for Hormone Balance & Clear Skin
Spearmint tea is a powerful natural remedy for PCOS because it helps lower androgens (aka, those male hormones that us girlies get that can cause stubborn acne and unwanted hair growth). I wasn’t sure about a minty smoothie, but here’s how it went…
Ingredients:
1 scoop vanilla or caramel protein powder
½ banana
1 tbsp flaxseeds
¼ cup Greek yogurt (adds creaminess + probiotics!)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup brewed & cooled spearmint tea
Taste Test & Review:
I was super skeptical about a mint smoothie—would it taste like a Shamrock Shake or toothpaste? Turns out, it was a pleasant surprise! The mint wasn’t overpowering, and the banana and caramel protein powder balanced it beautifully. Plus, the Greek yogurt gave it that thick, creamy texture I love in smoothies.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
It gets a 4/5 only because the last one was so FREAKING AMAZING! But review of this one = a shocker, but in the best way! I’d happily make this for breakfast any day.
🍫 Choco Boost (aka Cocoa Puffs Boost?!) – Energy & Mood Support
Chocolate lovers, this one's for you! This smoothie is loaded with healthy fats, fiber, and mood-boosting maca powder, making it an energizing breakfast or post-workout treat.
Ingredients:
½ avocado (adds creaminess)
1 tbsp almond butter
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 tsp maca powder (great for hormone balance)
1 cup almond/coconut/dairy milk
½ tsp cinnamon
Taste Test & Review:
Oh. My. God. The moment I smelled this smoothie, I knew I was in for a treat—it was EXACTLY like the leftover milk from Cocoa Puffs cereal. 😍 It wasn’t heavy, which I loved, and had the perfect chocolatey, nutty flavor. If you miss childhood chocolate cereals but want a grown-up, hormone-friendly version, this is it.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
A winner! Chocolate lovers, this one’s for you.
