Cabbage Slaw with Fresh Herbs, Almonds and Lime

This is the perfect hormone-healing recipe for spring and summer! It’s loaded with estrogen-supportive cabbage, a cruciferous vegetable that helps your body naturally detox excess estrogen. It also has fresh herbs, which not only taste amazing, but are also nature’s medicine cabinet, and provide a wide range of benefits including decreasing inflammation (and must for hormone health!). The almonds provide some healthy fat, and the lime gives it a nice fresh zing, and also provides vitamin C, which is essential for healthy adrenal function and a stress response, as well as helping to detox. This is a great recipe to make ahead of time and bring to a potluck, or make for meal prep. Enjoy!
