Greek Orzo Pasta Salad
If you know me you know I LOVE Greece and Greek food. This easy and flavor-packed pasta salad recipe is perfect for summer days, potlucks, or meal prep. Add some protein with some grilled chicken or salmon on top, or make it gluten-free (and higher protein) by substituting quinoa for the orzo, or a gluten-free pasta. Enjoy!
High Protein Cottage Cheese and Blueberry Chia Pudding
I love a good chia pudding - it’s loaded with healthy fats and fiber, which is extremely helpful for hormone health. However, it’s often lacking in protein (even if you top it with nuts and seeds), so adding a protein source is a must if you’re using it for a full meal. This recipe uses cottage cheese to add some high-quality protein, as well as cow’s milk, which has much more protein than plant-based milks. You always add in some high quality protein powder as well if you really want to bump it up.
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!
