PCOS Detox Juice for Hormonal Balance

We’ve all been hearing about drinking your skincare, right? Well, now it’s time to drink your hormone care. Yup —your hormones can benefit from a little TLC, too, and it’s easier than you think! If you’re managing PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), you know how important it is to support your body in every way possible. One simple, yet powerful, way I’ve found to help balance hormones is through juicing. Not only is it packed with nutrients, but it can also help detoxify your body, boost energy, and support your skin (so yes we’re still drinking our skincare haha).

My Go-To PCOS Detox Juice

Here’s my favorite juice recipe to help with hormone balance. It’s full of ingredients known to support hormone health, fight inflammation, and cleanse your system:

Ingredients:

• 2 large Carrots: Rich in beta-carotene and vitamin A, which support skin health and hormone detoxification.
• 1 small Beet: Known for promoting liver detoxification, which helps balance hormones.
• 1 cup Kale or Spinach: Packed with magnesium and antioxidants that reduce inflammation and support hormonal health.
• 1 medium Cucumber: Hydrates and flushes out toxins, helping your skin glow.
• 1-inch piece of Ginger: Anti-inflammatory and can help regulate blood sugar, a key factor in managing PCOS.
• 1/2 Lemon: Detoxifying and alkalizing, which helps with acne and inflammation.
• 1 tablespoon Flaxseeds (optional): Excellent for hormone regulation due to lignans and omega-3s. Add after juicing for a nutrient boost. (Soaked if not grounded)
• 1 medium Apple: Adds sweetness and fiber, making the juice more enjoyable.

Why These Ingredients Work for PCOS

• Carrots: High in vitamin A (retinol), carrots help support your skin and improve hormone detox, both of which are crucial for managing PCOS. 
• Beets: Beets are a natural detoxifier, helping to cleanse the liver, which plays a key role in hormone balance.
• Kale and Spinach: These leafy greens are full of magnesium, an essential mineral that can help regulate cortisol levels and reduce inflammation, both of which are linked to hormonal imbalances.
• Ginger: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger can support digestive health and regulate blood sugar, which is often disrupted in women with PCOS.
• Lemon: Not only does lemon help detoxify, but it also alkalizes the body, reducing inflammation—a common issue for those with PCOS.
• Flaxseeds: These tiny powerhouses are packed with omega-3 fatty acids and lignans, both of which help to balance hormones, making them especially beneficial for women with PCOS.

This juice is a great addition to your morning routine or a quick afternoon pick-me-up. The ingredients are specifically chosen to support your body in its hormone balance journey, giving you a natural detox and promoting overall well-being.
