#ad I decided to try something a little different

#ad I decided to try something a little different for breakfast and experiment with a semolina porridge made even more creamy and delicious using @califiafarmsau Original Oat milk which I found in the long-life milk aisle @woolworths_au. It tastes like dessert for breakfast and I loved switching things up and trying something new. Unlike traditional semolina porridge, this recipe is completely vegan. Here is the recipe.

1 cup @califiafarmsau Original Oat Milk
1/2 cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp maple syrup
1/3 cup semolina
2/3 cups pitted frozen cherries
1/4 cup hemp seeds

In a saucepan combine oat milk, water, vanilla and maple syrup, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and whisk in semolina a little at a time until it thickens. Mix in cherries and hemp seeds. Serve with vegan vanilla yogurt, dark chocolate and extra cherries and any other toppings of choice. #califiafarmsau #calilujah

#ad This recipe that I am sharing has got to be on

#ad This recipe that I am sharing has got to be one of the naturally sweetest and richest desserts I have ever made. Using the amazing @califiafarmsau Vanilla Oat Milk that I got from the long-life milk aisle in @woolworths_au. I am obsessed with the smell of this milk, sometimes I take it out of the fridge just to smell it. The vanilla is my favourite of the entire Califia range and I think it's pretty unique because I don't think I have seen other vanilla flavoured milk in the supermarkets. It also makes for the best desserts! My advice with this dessert is to serve them in small jars as they are very rich. I think my glasses of choice were a little too large but I actually didn't have anything much smaller. I need to invest in some smaller jars.

White Chocolate layer:
1/2 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup @califiafarmsau Vanilla Oat Milk
1/2 cup cacao butter
1 TBSP maple syrup
Caramel:
1/2 cup cashew butter
1/8 cup cacao butter or coconut oil
6 TBSP maple syrup
pinch of salt (optional)
popcorn

For the white chocolate layer, meltdown cacao butter in a saucepan on low heat until liquid. In a blender or food processor combine cashews, oat milk, melted cacao butter and maple syrup, blend until smooth and divide evenly into small glasses or jars. Place in the freezer to set for 4 hours until firm.
For the caramel, meltdown cacao butter and coconut oil and mix together all ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Pour over the top of the white chocolate layer and top with popcorn.

Time for my first flaxseed recipe for my flaxseed

Time for my first flaxseed recipe for my flaxseed series. This is a very easy 3 ingredient flax banana bars.

This is my first time baking with flax only (not just a flax egg) for some reason I assumed that since the omega 3s in flax oxidise so quickly when ground and exposed to air that heating flax would be even worse, but actually that’s not true! Cooking flax seeds does not significantly alter nutrition and in fact it may make them even better because flax does have a small amount of cyanide which theoretically could cause toxicity (although this is not quite proven in the research but it is a thing that has been circulating around the internet) cooking flax completely destroys the cyanide, (especially when combined with liquid )while still retaining nutrition and hormone balancing effects.

You can find this recipe on my blog now, link is in bio. I’ll also be sharing a video reel of this recipe later on this week so stayed tuned.

If you didn’t catch my flaxseed for hormone article you can also find that on my website right under this recipe. I updated it today to address some of the common questions I’ve received on flax so hopefully it’s a thorough explanation of all things flax related including how to properly prepare and store them.

Starting my new series today all about flax seeds

Starting my new series today all about flax seeds and women’s hormones. Both this series and my previous series are under a larger umbrella of things that impact estrogen. Like soy, flax seeds are very rich in phytoestrogens, they have a different phytoestrogen to soy called lignan but they seem to work in similar ways in the body. Lignans have actually been found to be more powerful than isoflavones in soy especially for things like cyclical breast pain and breast cancer prevention. Flax seeds also have the benefit of being very high in fibre which is wonderful for clearing out excess estrogen from the gut.

You can read my full article all about how flax seeds affect womens hormones on my blog now. Link is in bio. Also expect a few flax seed recipes coming to go along with this series. The recipes are a bit different to my usual style and I love it! It’s sort of helped me get out of a rut and opened my mind up to lots more creative food possibilities 🙌

Last recipe for my soy series. Probably could have

Last recipe for my soy series. Probably could have shared this one in my caffeine series too. It’s an old recipe but a popular one. I wanted to take a moment to talk about soy milk as I’ve been surprised that people seem to fear soy milk the most, even over tofu ? At least I’m basing that on the DMs I’ve received. I’m not sure why, soy milk is the lowest in phytoestrogens even when using whole soy beans (which I recommend as it’s less processed and more nutritious) a lot of soy milks on the market use soy protein isolate which actually have close to zero phytoestrogens in them… personally of all the plant milks on the market I think soy is the most nutritious, it has a whopping 7g of protein which is very similar to dairy milk which has around 8g, almond and oat milk varieties have less that 2g of protein and have a much higher water content so are less nutritious. Soy milk is also naturally higher in calcium even when not fortified. That does not mean I don’t drink any other milk besides soy, I actually enjoy a huge variety of plant milks and pick and choose depending on the meal or dessert I’m making, but from a nutritional stand point soy is definitely superior and is an easy way to boost the protein content of breakfast.

BASE:
1 cup pecans
6 dates
¼ tsp decaf instant coffee
1 tsp vanilla
FILLING:
1¾ cup cashews
¼ tsp decaf instant coffee
1 cup of soy milk
⅓ cup maple syrup
⅓ cup melted cacao butter or coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of sea salt
cacao powder for dusting
coffee beans for decorating
Method
To make the crust, Add pecans to the food processor and process until ground. Add the rest of the crust ingredients and process again.
Divide the base between small jars and press with fingers to cover the bottom
For the filling, combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
Pour filling on top of the crust for each jar. Dust with cacao powder and add coffee beans.
Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.

I have two recipe shares left for my soy series be

I have two recipe shares left for my soy series before I move on to my flax seeds series ( which actually have a much stronger impact on estrogen than soy) this vegan Black Forest baked cheesecake is actually pretty much the same recipe as my baked blueberry cheesecake I shared a few posts ago. When I first developed the vegan baked cheesecake I decided to try it in all the different flavours because I was on to a good thing ! Enjoy

CRUST
1 cup cacao powder
3 cups blanched almond meal
4 TBSP avocado oil or other neutral oil
pinch salt
4 TBSP maple syrup
FILLING:
1 cup frozen pitted cherries
1 cup cashews (soaked for 3-4 hours)
1 300g packet organic silken tofu
6 TBSP maple syrup
1 TBSP nutritional yeast
1 TBSP vanilla extract
1 Tsp tahini
Method
For the base: mix all the crust ingredients in a bowl with a spoon until slightly sticky and moist.
Press the mixture evenly on the base and sides of a lightly greased cake tin. Try to go as high up the sides as you can.
For the filling: add the cherries on top of the base.
Add all the remaining ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth
Pour over base and blueberries and bake at 180 C for about 30- 40 minutes. I kept checking and shaking the tin and removed once the filling had set and had a jelly-like consistency (no longer liquid)
Remove from oven and allow to cool

1. Multiple studies have shown soy to be protectiv

1. Multiple studies have shown soy to be protective against breast cancer and may actually help improve breast cancer survival rate. You can read the soy article on my blog to look at some of the big studies that go into this. Also since my soy series I have received numerous DM's with women convinced that drinking soy milk has messed up their hormones. I just want to say that soy milk is very low in phytoestrogens, it only has about 6 mg and you need at least 22mg to start noticing some sort of effect (although personally I have never really noticed anything myself either good or bad) If your soy milk uses soy protein isolate instead of whole soybeans then it has even less than 6mg.

2. It is true that a very large percentage of soy grown is GMO however in most countries GMO soy is reserved for animal feed and not human consumption. It may be possible that some GMO soy makes it into highly processed foods (read ingredients) but almost across the board things like tofu, edamame, tempeh etc are non GMO.

3. Soy foods do not cause thyroid problems. A review of more than 400 studies published in a 2021 Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, found that isoflavone intake does not adversely affect thyroid function. There may be an interaction between soy intake and thyroid medication absorbability but most side effects were due to soy isoflavone supplements, not food-based soy.

4. Soy grown for human consumption is very small (less than 1% of total soybean production) compared to what is grown for animal feed. As it pertains to human consumption, soy is one of the most sustainable protein sources.

5. According to a meta-analysis of 41 clinical studies (Reproductive Toxicology, 2021) on the feminizing effects of soy, no significant effects of soy protein or isoflavone intake were found, regardless of dose or study duration. Fears are based on rat studies that do not translate to humans and 1 or 2 case studies where one man at something like 14 serves of soy a day and not much else.

Another incredibly delicious tofu/soy recipe for m

Another incredibly delicious tofu/soy recipe for my soy and womens hormones series. All the good healthy fats in this one , high in plant based omega 3

Choc peanut butter chia mousse pudding ? Don’t even know what to call it? Good for breakfast or healthy dessert.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER MOUSSE
½ banana
1 ripe avocado
2 TBSP maple syrup
2 TBSP cacao powder
1 TBSP peanut butter
pinch salt
drop vanilla extract
CHIA PUDDING:
1 300g packet silken tofu
juice half lemon
2 TBSP maple syrup
drop vanilla
⅓ cup chia seeds
TOPPINGS AND LAYERS
sliced banana
dark chocolate chips
chocolate granola
extra peanut butter
Method
Begin by smearing some runny peanut butter on to the insides of glass jars of choice. I just used a teaspoon to do this,
For the mousse: add all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. If you do not have a food processor you can mash the avocado and banana with a fork and mix everything together in a bowl. This will work but it will turn out more clumpy and you may see little clumps of avocado in your mousse.
Layer into the bottom of smeared glasses, top with some banana slices (use the other half of the banana) and other toppings if you wish and set aside.
For the chia pudding: Blend all ingredients except chia seeds in a blender (I like to use a mini blender like the Nutri Ninja to save on clean up) mix in chia seeds well with a spoon and layer on top of the mousse layer. There is no need to allow the chia seeds to sit as the pudding will be thick enough to layer.
Top with more banana, granola, choc chips, and peanut butter and any other toppings you wish!

If you didn’t catch my soy phytoestrogen article

If you didn’t catch my soy phytoestrogen article here is a quick summary. I think it’s quite interesting that soy is so feared (still) but flax seeds which are also high in a different type of phytoestrogen seem to be widely accepted as beneficial for estrogen, the reason this surprises me is that flax seeds are actually a lot stronger than soy in terms of affecting estrogen , but soy is the one that is feared 🤷‍♀️ my next series is all about flax seeds.

I do think it’s true that western populations have less of the microbes necessary to breakdown soy compared to Asian populations (this is where the s equol conversation comes in, have any of you heard of that?) but I don’t think that the assumption should then be westerners can’t benefit from soy… the gut microbiome can adjust in time with the careful slow introduction of soy, or any other food for that matter. You can read the full article on soy phytoestrogens in my bio and if your like I was and have no idea where to start with eating soy foods (I used to think they were disgusting) take a look through my recent recipes that go along with this soy series, I have another 2-3 recipes coming this week too.

Continuing with recipe inspo for my soy phytoestro

Continuing with recipe inspo for my soy phytoestrogens series. One of my most favourite ways to consume soy is roasted edamame beans, they add a great salty crunch to a salad. I am yet to master boiled edamame, I can’t quite get it the same as the one I eat at restaurants, not sure why? This bowl probably doesn’t make much sense but is the result of throwing together whatever you have in the fridge and making it balanced, also anything works with potato because potato makes everything taste good,

I love cycle-syncing soy foods in my follicular and ovulatory phases, in fact I crave soy in those phases. The phytoestrogens help to balance rising estrogen and provide great quality protein too.

Would love to know how you eat your edamame? Comment below.

Sharing lots of soy recipes to go along with my soy phytoestrogens series, starting off with something anyone will enjoy even if they are scared of the taste of tofu (like I used to be). My favourite way to eat tofu is with chocolate! Cant beat it. I feel like so many of my recent recipes have the chocolate silken tofu combo …. I really do use it a lot because it’s so good!

Ok everyone, here is my next content series all ab

Ok everyone, here is my next content series all about phytoestrogens. Soy foods and flax seeds are the most concentrated in phytoestrogens and so have been most studied for how they affect hormones, I’ll be doing lots of content on flax too but starting with soy.

I wrote this blog post 2 years ago but have gone through and updated it with some more current research (ok I pretty much re wrote it). Everyone seems to have an opinion on soy and hormones, if your confused about why there are so many opinions I encourage you to read the introduction to this article because it talks about reading and interpreting science properly. I’ve also written this article attempting to cover the most common concerns I’ve noticed and some info for the women that really do react to soy and don’t understand why.

Link is in bio. As always, looking forward to your feedback and thoughts. Comment below once you’ve read it with your thoughts.

I was looking through my recipes trying to see if

I was looking through my recipes trying to see if I had any more coffee recipes to finish of my caffeine for womens hormones series and I completely forgot about the coconut mocha slice. It’s a very old recipe but a good one. Tomorrow I’ll be starting my soy for hormones series, I asked you to vote between soy and alcohol in my stories and soy won. I’m doing content relating to estrogen right now.
Here is the recipe : save for later

BASE:
¾ cup hazelnuts
1 heaped TBSP almond butter
8 dates
2 TBSP cacao powder
pinch sea salt
MOCHA/COCONUT LAYERS:
2 cups raw cashews (soaked in water for at least 4 hours)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup maple syrup
⅓ cup melted coconut oil
About 3 tsp of instant organic naturally decaffeinated coffee dissolved in ⅓ cup hot water ( you can use regular instant coffee if you don't mind caffeine) Add more coffee granules if you want a stronger taste
1 small tub coconut yogurt - or enough to create an even top layer
cacao powder for dusting
Method
For the base: combine all your ingredients in a food processor and blitz until well combined and sticky.
Press firmly into the base of a square baking dish lined with baking paper.
Set in the fridge while you make your mocha coconut layers
For Mocha/Coconut Layers: combine cashews, vanilla, coconut oil and maple syrup in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour half your cashew mixture over your base
Add the instant coffee to the remaining half of the cashew mixture in your blender and blend until smooth
Pour over previous layer and spread evenly.
Spread enough coconut yogurt over the top of the slice to form your last layer
Set in the freezer for about 4 hours until set.
Allow to defrost for a few minutes, dust with cacao powder and cut into slices to serve.
** if you can try and leave 15 minutes of setting time in the freezer in between each layer to avoid layers blending together.

Sharing some graphics that will hopefully break do

Sharing some graphics that will hopefully break down the amount or caffeine in different drinks and foods, please just take these as a rough guide, the amounts are not 100% precise and I’m also not great at maths but I’ve done my best.

Let’s also remember that not all caffeine is created equal , thinks like matcha and chocolate have other compounds like l theanine and magnesium that help curb some of the effects of the caffeine and make it more slow release which is much easier for the body to deal with, but personally I still think it’s good to be mindful of total caffeine consumption as some womens hormones are still sensitive even to things like matcha. 400 mg is considered safe for men but for women 100-200mg seems to be safer.

Also honestly I don’t see any benefit to energy drinks… coffee at least has some amazing health benefits even if the caffeine is high… energy drinks have no health benefits and a lot more negative side effects.

Remember to read my coffee article linked in my bio for more info about caffeine and womens hormones , or look through my most recent posts 💛

If you didn’t catch my blog article about how caffeine affects womens hormones here is a quick summary, again remembering we are all different and have different caffeine tolerances. I have also been getting lots of questions asking about things like matcha and green tea, I have another graphic post like this coming in a few days that goes into that so stay tuned.

Hope your all doing well, I feel like I’ve been fairly absent on here especially in stories, I’m on day 28 of my cycle and I’m feeling pretty miserable this month thanks to getting a certain virus earlier on in the month. The fatigue is a little exaggerated for me and my motivation is pretty low still ! Can’t wait for the month ahead to get back into normal routine.

Did you catch my reel for these vegan carrot cake muffins ? Dolloped with some vanilla @coyo_organic coconut yogurt because it’s healthy and I’m absolutely terrible with frosting. I have a mental barrier with frosting, I’ve actually considered taking a class to help me overcome it 😂 hope you all have a wonderful Easter! Spend good quality time with loved ones and eat lots of chocolate.

Also let’s appreciate that carrots have soluble fibre that helps clear out excess estrogen in the gut and helps with pms 💛

3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon allspice
Pinch salt
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup almond milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup coconut sugar
½ cup avocado oil
2 cups grated carrots, medium-packed
FROSTING:

New blog post is up all about how caffeine affects

New blog post is up all about how caffeine affects womens hormones. Hint, it’s different to men and most studies are conducted on men. I had lots of fun writing this article and learning more about caffeine and coffee myself. I personally don’t drink any coffee, caffeinated tea or any other caffeine drinks, I still get a little bit from dark chocolate but not very much and as you will discover, not all caffeine is created equal. I’m actually now experimenting with an amazing decaf from @foodfarmacyau but I’m still not a huge fan of the taste of coffee unless it’s in desserts! Coffee flavoured desserts are my favourite! You can expect some coffee dessert recipes coming at you this week 💛

Would love your feedback on this article. Hope you enjoy it. Link in bio
