AleThe luteal phase salad aka Warm Chickpea Tahini Caesar 🥣🍠🥦🧀 Warm, high protein, no lettuce, & packed with the best hormone-loving ingredients. Grounding carbs from the sweet potato to keep blood sugar + cortisol steady, broccoli for liver support & clearing excess estrogen, tons of protein to keep you full & out of fight-or-flight, & a drinkable dressing full of anti-inflammatory fats to nourish hormones + support skin health. The warm part isn't random btw- my chinese medicine doc (2023 saga) had me cut cold food while I was healing from a lot of gut & hormonal issues, & it's still the advice I come back to, esp when I'm dealing with symptoms of any sort. Warm food is just less work for your body to digest!! You'll need: -1 sweet potato -broccoli -chicken -chickpeas (rinsed and drained) -1/4 cup EVOO -1/4 cup tahini -juice of one lemon -minced garlic (or powder) -salt -pepper -paprika -avocado oil or another high heat oil -optional: parm or manchego (nutritional yeast works too) To make: Season your broccoli, sweet potato (cubed small), & chickpeas in avocado oil, paprika, salt, pepper. Roast @450 for 25 min. While it's baking, cook your chicken (I bake mine, sometimes I'll grill). I season so simply- avocado oil, garlic, salt, pepper. For the dressing: EVOO, tahini, lemon juice, as much cheese as your heart desires, 1 tbsp minced garlic, salt, pepper. Mix & add water to thin. Assemble, top w more cheese duh, & enjoyyy!!! Luteal phase or not- this one helps me feel regulated. Hope u feel it too 🤍 #lutealphase #hormonehealth #warmsalad
