Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Using whatever ratios of fruit/herb you desire and mix everything, including ice, in a high speed blender. Add a splash of pineapple, orange or cranberry juice, yogurt or milk and serve immediately.

* Step 2

Add additional fruits, sweeteners to your liking or any of the medicinal additions listed in the, "Options Section," you think you can at least tolerate. Authors Note: I've not tried the Fenugreek Seeds as of yet in this drink but the others listed are great additions with fantastic flavor. It's unseen but there is Wheat Germ in the drink pictured.

* Step 3

CANTALOUPES Vitamin C in cantaloupes is effective in regulating menstrual flow and relieving menstrual cramps in women. Regular consumption of cantaloupe during menstruation can reduce the flow and clotting considerably; and get rid of other menstrual problems. Cantaloupe is also sometimes used to induce menstruation.

* Step 4

BANANAS Evidence suggests that bananas may help reduce cramps associated with menstruation. In addition to being a rich food source of anti-cramping nutrients such as vitamin B6, bananas are loaded with potassium which helps reduce water retention. This is great news if you often experience bloating during menstruation.

* Step 5

PINEAPPLES Turbo-charge your anti-cramp diet by regularly eating pineapple. Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that is thought to help relax muscles and thus help with menstrual cramps. Be aware, however, that most of the bromelain in pineapple is in the stem which is not as tasty as the flesh but which is nevertheless edible.

* Step 6

PARSLEY This often under-appreciated vegetable is much more than just a decorative garnish that accompanies meals in restaurants. It is loaded with important nutrients, and it can be used to treat various health problems, including menstrual cramps. It contains apiol, a compound that has been shown to be highly effective at stimulating the menstrual process and relieving menstrual cramps.

* Step 7

WHEAT GERM Wheat germ may be one of the best foods you can include in your diet if you suffer from menstrual cramps. It provides a concentrated source of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), with a mere cup of crude wheat germ providing a whopping 75% of the recommended daily intake for this important vitamin! Wheat germ is also an excellent source of other B vitamins as well as zinc. What's more, it contains very high amounts of vitamin E and magnesium.
