Took 5 minutes to make this nutrient dense, detoxing, hormone balancing warm lunch:
Ingredients:
1/2 package of organic pre-made slaw @wholefoods: contains 2 types of shredded cabbage + carrots
1 medium zucchini
1 egg (can add more if you like!)
2 tbsp hemp seeds
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp of ground flax seeds
Small handful of @Goraw pumpkin seeds
Ghee, EVOO or Coconut Oil to sauté all
Finish with sea salt, cilantro (detoxing) + @foragerproject nut cheese parmesan (my fav)
Directions: Saute the veggies with healthy oil for a few minutes then crack an egg or two on top of all and mix well. Add your seeds and mix again then garnish with cilantro, sea salt, dulse/sea veggie sprinkles (thyroid love) + @foragers nut based parmesan (optional).
Cabbage is a cruciferous veggie, rich in vitamins and fiber. The cruciferous veggie family is rich in nutrients, including several carotenoids (beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin); vitamins C, E, and K; folate; and minerals. They also are a good fiber source. They contain a group of substances known as glucosinolates, which are sulfur-containing chemicals and produce glutathione, your master antioxidant aiding in liver detoxification. Eat up! 🌱🌱🌱
I’ve been using seeds for years and as I’m almost 47 and heading into perimenpause (eventually), I want to make the transition as smooth as possible. The science of seed cycling is mixed but what I do is have ground flax + some form of other seeds daily for my hormones.
“Vitamin E and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, found in flax seeds, sesame, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds, are essential for hormone production. Seeds are rich in selenium, which supports ovulation and fertility. Lignans, which flax and sesame seeds are especially rich in, are converted to enterolactones in the presence of healthy gut flora, which help keep your estrogen levels healthy” Dr. Aviva Romm.
