Top 3 Green Smoothies for Heavy Periods & Cramps

We know firsthand how awful a heavy period can be. It's not just that you must change your pads every two hours, but it's also a crippling pain. And yes, when you're going through a particularly painful period, you usually have no appetite at all.

But sometimes you can be greedy and a lot of times you feel like grabbing something to numb the pain. I suggest taking pain relievers for menstrual pain because we shouldn't let ourselves suffer from them. But also, if you want a natural painkiller, make this green smoothie because it can help!
