Smoothie For Endometriosis Flare-Ups
How to Reduce Endometriosis Pain with a Smoothie
Having Endometriosis is truly a battle. Between eating the right things, and living the right way to reduce flare-ups and pain.
An anti-inflammatory smoothie is a great solution for a healthy diet. Especially for women with Endometriosis. Including myself. It gives your body fuel with food that helps reduce my pain. Finding ingredients that supply vitamins and nutrients to fight the growth of endometrial tissue is key.

What to Put in a Endometriosis Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie?
My go-to smoothie includes — organic green, organic dark berries, a banana, chia seeds, flax seeds, and organic juice.
Leafy Greens
Leafy Greens in a smoothie are great for women with Endometriosis. They are full of vitamins, nutrients, and iron. This is great! The power of veggies decreases inflammation. Greens are the key to stopping inflammation. No matter how you eat them. They stop and/or slow inflammation down will help you control painful flare-ups.
My go-to, spinach, is perfect leafy green for me now. This green doesn’t make me gassy. And, its’ earthy taste great with any type of fruit mix I can conjure up.
Spinach provides 20% of the RDI for iron per serving. Along with, several vitamins and minerals. It also contains important antioxidants.

Leafy greens are great, but for taste, add berries!
Berries
Dark berries are everything! They taste great. Therefore, they are the perfect match for leafy greens in a smoothie. They are a great source for antioxidants. Also, they are packed with fiber which is great for Endometriosis.
Antioxidant use has been studied as a means to improve patient outcomes in endometriosis.
Journal of Gynecology and Women’s Health
Blueberries are my go-to for my smoothie. They are sweet enough to mask any earthy taste from greens that may turn me off.
Blueberries are full of antioxidants. They are a great source of omega-3, omega-6, omega-9, iron, magnesium, calcium, and potassium.

The fiber in berries like blueberries are said to lower estrogen levels that Endometriosis feeds off of and grows.
