Because you deserve to feel like the hormone goddess you are, I’m sharing one of my absolutely favorite and never-before-seen recipes from my new book!
Goddess bowls – my take on “Buddha bowls” – are not only deeply nourishing, but beyond delicious. They are excellent to include during all phases of your cycle, but can be especially helpful through the last week of your menstrual cycle and into your period. The combination of grains and sweet potatoes create the perfect meal when you’re craving carbs and comfort foods and to prevent low mood and PMS-like symptoms. Because this is so satisfying it can help you steer clear from the not so healthy ‘carb' choices during this time.
This bowl also has phenomenal ingredients to support healthy fertility and hormone balance throughout our lives. Seeds are also excellent for cycle health so feel free to get creative with what you add here!
Let me know what you think and enjoy!
