Today I am on day 28 of my cycle and I’m really

Today I am on day 28 of my cycle and I’m really feeling it. The last couple of months were pretty much symptomless for me but this month I’m fatigued, bloated and emotional. That’s what happens when you spend a month away from home and mess up your usual routine and eating habits, it’s all worth it of course but in light of that I wanted to share these sweet potato flour crepes with banana and chocolate sauce because they are really pms friendly and help to boost progesterone. Lots of beta carotene from the sweet potato flour which boosts progesterone (at least in animal studies) as well as vitamin b6 from the banana and magnesium from the chocolate which together help to support mood and diminish pms symptoms on the whole. This is a fairly sweet recipe of mine so I would not actually have this for breakfast, would have it for dessert after a main meal so it doesn’t spike blood glucose as much.

I’ll be sharing lots more menstrual cycle/cycle syncing content over the next couple of months.

½ cup buckwheat flour
¼ cup + 1 TBSP sweet potato flour
1 TBSP coconut sugar
2 TBSP ground flax seeds
1 TBSP oil (I used macadamia oil) plus extra for frying
2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch salt
2 cups almond milk
Method
Combine all the ingredients into a large bowl. Whisk together until well combined Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes before using.
Lightly grease a crepe pan or large frypan with oil.
Using a ladle spread out the batter in a thin layer coating the pan, turning the pan to spread the mixture evenly.
Cook on medium heat for a few minutes until the edges become golden brown, flip and cook for a few more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Repeat until the batter is finished.
Serve with desired toppings, I used a vegan chocolate hazelnut spread and bananas.

This is my last resistant starch post before I start another topic. You can read back through my posts for more on resistant starch but in short

🍚 helps lower blood glucose and helps insulin resistance
🍚 assists the estrobolome in the gut to manage estrogen
🍚can help heal leaky gut and repair the intestinal wall.

Also I had a comment about wether resistant starch remains with reheating once the food is cooled, I was under the impression that heat destroys resistant starch but this is only at first, with reheating the resistant starch becomes even higher! So I guess reheating leftovers seems like a great idea 💛

I’ve dedicated my Saturday night posts just for

I’ve dedicated my Saturday night posts just for sharing some of my most favourite recipes. Don’t feel like being educational on a Saturday night. Did you catch this raw vegan blackberry chocolate tart that I shared a few weeks back? I shared it for Christmas but it’s a great summer recipe making the most of the pretty fresh blackberries. Nice and refreshing when cold! Kind of like ice cream!

Base:
1 cup pecans
1 cup dates
2 tbsp cacao powder
Water if needed

Filling:
1 1/2 cups cashews (soaked for 3-4 hours)
1 x 400g can of coconut cream
1/2 cup cacao butter
Juice 1 lemon
2 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup maple syrup
Blackberries and melted chocolate as topping.

In a food processor blitz base ingredients until sticky. Press into bottom and sides of 20cm tart tin and set aside. Melt cacao butter in saucepan over low heat. Blend the filling ingredients in a blender or food processor until creamy and smooth, pour over tart base and stud with blackberriesz place in freezer to set for 1/2 hours. Drizzle with melted chocolate.

Hey guys, we made it home after a full month in Me

Hey guys, we made it home after a full month in Melbourne with family. I’ve been doing a little resistant starch series lately, here is a recap of the benefits of resistant starch for women’s hormones all science backed. If you look through my last few posts I have a few resistant starch rich recipes as inspo too! I’m now heading off to unpack and try settle back in. Happy Thursday everyone 💛

Did you catch my recent chocolate cake recipe? Mad

Did you catch my recent chocolate cake recipe? Made with green banana flour from @dhownaturefoods . Green banana flour is the highest source of resistant starch which is so great for gut health. Best thing about this cake is that it also has yogurt so it’s a probiotic and a prebiotic at the same time!

1 cup DHOW Green Banana Flour
1 cup plant-based yogurt (I used cashew yogurt)
½ cup coconut sugar
½ cup + 2 TBSP almond milk
¼ cup cacao powder
¼ cup neutral-tasting oil (I used macadamia oil)
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch salt
FROSTING:
1 cup cacao powder
½ cup cacao butter
½ cup maple syrup
Method
In a bowl combine together the green banana flour, coconut sugar, cacao powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl combine together the yogurt, milk, oil and vanilla.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a batter forms.
Pour batter into a lightly greased 20cm springform cake tin.
Bake in the oven at 180 C for 40 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean.
For the frosting: meltdown the cacao butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup and cacao powder. It will create a thick frosting. Lather on the cake with a spatula and decorate with berries. Slice and enjoy.

Have you heard of resistant starch ? I spoke about

Have you heard of resistant starch ? I spoke about resistant starch in my recent podcast (see previous reel) and I felt like sharing a bit more about it. Resistant starch is a non digestible carbohydrate that has been shown to be powerful at helping to prevent and heal leaky gut, lower blood sugar levels and assist the gut microbiome in regulating estrogen. It acts really similar to fibre in the body however I think its effects on blood sugar might be even more powerful ? It’s being studied by scientists as a treatment for diabetes. Many foods contain resistant starch however most of it gets destroyed while cooking. Eating cooked and cooled foods can bring some of the resistant starch back! Good sources are cooked and cooled potatoes, (like potato salad, so if you think potatoes are bad for blood sugar thing again ! especially when eaten cold ) cooked and cooled rice and green banana flour. I have an in-depth write up about the benefits of resistant starch for women on my blog. Link is in bio 💛

I’ve been talking about adding in more plants as

I’ve been talking about adding in more plants as a non negotiable for hormone balance in 2022. In my last post I talked about low gut microbial diversity which can lead to low estrogen, but what about the opposite? Having an overgrowth of the wrong type of bacteria can lead to too much of the beta glucaronidase enzyme being produced in the gut. this enzymes re activates the estrogen that was packaged up by the liver for excretion and sends it back into the blood stream leading to symptoms of estrogen excess. Estrogen excess leads to cyclical breast pain, heavy painful periods, pms , recurrent vaginal infections, fibroids, migraines, endometriosis etc. One of the best ways to counteract bacterial overgrowth and estrogen excess is to eat phytoestrogen rich foods like soy, beans, seeds and other veggies. These help modulate the estrobolome and block estrogen receptors in the body. They can both increase and decrease estrogen as needed. While most people think phytoestrogens increase estrogen, this is seen mostly in studies of women in menopause, the few studies we have on women of reproductive age actually shows a more likely decrease in estrogen. That’s why I call phytoestrogens “adaptogenic” because they adapt to what the body needs 🙌

Here is my crispy baked tofu recipe. I love having this in my follicular and ovulatory phases. I actually crave it. I put it in a huge salad or in a nourish bowl like this one!

1 block firm tofu
½ cup bread crumbs (gluten-free if necessary)
2 TBSP dried vegetable stock
1 TBSP sesame seeds
soy milk for coating
Method
Pat dry tofu and cut into triangle shapes or whatever shape you like (about ½ cm thick)
Mix breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, and vegetable stock together in a bowl
In a separate bowl pour a little bit of soy milk. Enough to dip tofu pieces
Dip the tofu pieces in the soy milk and then in the breadcrumb mixture making sure they are evenly coated
Spread tofu on a baking tray and bake at 180 C for about 30 - 40 minutes until tofu is crispy but still soft on the inside.

One of the non negotiables I’ve set out for 2020

One of the non negotiables I’ve set out for 2020 for hormone balance is to eat more plants! Plants have a crucial role in modulating the gut microbiome. The estrobolome is a specific subset of bacteria that determines how much estrogen gets sent back into the blood stream. People with low microbial diversity (like I used to have because I used to eat nothing) have a tendency towards low estrogen and low overall hormones. This was my problem for years and one of the reasons I got better is because I focused strongly on adding more plants ! They say 30-40 different plants a week is minimum for improved microbial diversity. This smoothie oatmeal combo is amazing because it packs 9-10 different plants in one meal (plus is also a probiotic due to the yogurt) I’ll be focusing the rest of the posts for this week on packing in more plants into meals.

SMOOTHIE:
1 cup mixed tropical fruit fresh or frozen. I used banana, mango, pineapple, papaya, and kiwi
Large handful spinach
1 cup plant milk of choice
1/4 cup hemp seeds
OATMEAL
½ cup oats
1 mashed banana
1 TBSP chia seeds
½ cup vanilla vegan yogurt ( I used homemade soy yogurt)
⅔ cup plant milk
1 tsp maple syrup (optional)
TOPPINGS:
Kiwi, blueberries, coconut flakes and chopped almonds
Method
In a blender whiz up smoothie ingredients and set aside.
In a bowl mash banana and add in all other oatmeal ingredients and mix well to combine. Allow to sit for a few minutes for the oats to absorb the liquid or you can leave in the fridge overnight.
Add half the oatmeal mixture in one bowl and gather up to one side. Pour the smoothie on the other side of the bowl.
Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Some of my non negotiables for 2022. I’ve been doing many of these for years but some are more of a priority for me lately.

🥦daily walks: best form of cardio exercise and the only exercise that balances cortisol levels. Walks give me energy
🥦 balanced breakfast to set blood sugar right for the day
🥦more plants. I’ve been plant-based for over 10 years but I’m still working on adding more of them into my diet because diversity of plants heal the gut and immune system
🥦nature is my favourite way to lower stress! Sunshine boosts vitamin D and keeps periods regular and inflammation low
🥦gratitude boosts dopamine production which lowers prolactin and boosts progesterone
🥦prayer is my life blood
🥦laughter lowers stress
🥦living authentically brings purpose and meaning. Focusing on developing my own strengths and talents and using them to bring joy to my life. Living life at my own pace and not a pace set by others or societal expectations.
🥦holding onto bitterness and resentment creates inflammation in the body and reduces the livers ability to process estrogen. High estrogen can cause breast tenderness and heavy painful periods. Forgiveness towards others and ourselves sets us free. Guilt and shame lower dopamine and lower estrogen leading to compromised ovulation and a tendency towards depression.
🥦 being stuck in the blame cycle is often a huge cause of PMS. Yes there is a lot that can be done for Pms with diet and lifestyle but mindset is just as important. Learning to take responsibility for our own problems instead of blaming others for them goes a long way in dealing with PMS.
🥦 consistent sleep and wake times. This sets up the circadian rythm which leads to better adrenal health and stress resiliency. Of all the things, this is my failure area. I have spent years working on this and still haven’t achieved it! Not giving up 🤪

Happy Sunday everyone! Nothing beats a pancake pos

Happy Sunday everyone! Nothing beats a pancake post on Sunday. Tomorrow I hope to return to more regular content. I know many of you have noticed me posting less especially on stories. Ive actually been working really hard on a cycle syncing ebook in the background while I’ve been here at my parents house which I hope to get out soon. In the meantime, here are some vegan oat and quinoa pancakes. Delish

2 cups pre cooked quinoa ( about 1 cup uncooked quinoa)
2 cups rolled oats ( gluten free if necessary)
1 TBSP baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
pinch salt
1¾ cups almond milk
2 TBSP maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method
Process some rolled oats in your blender until they become a flour, or used ready made oat flour
Add cooked quinoa, baking powder and salt to the blender. Do not process until wet ingredients are added
In a small bowl mix together almond milk, vanilla and maple syrup.
Add to the blender and blend until a thick batter forms
Grease your pancake pan with a little bit of oil
Add batter to pan. You can make your pancakes as big or small as you like. I poured directly from my blender in to my special pancake pan. The circles were quite small so they made pikelet looking pancakes. To get similar shaped pancakes I would suggest using no more than 2 TBSP of batter per pancake.
Fry for a few seconds on one side until bubbles form, flip over and cook the other side for a few more minutes. The pancakes are a little mushy on the inside so make sure you do not try and flip them too early as they will fall apart.
Continue
Serve with strawberries and maple syrup or whatever you like.

Guys I’m really lost with my posting, it’s not

Guys I’m really lost with my posting, it’s not only the period between Christmas and New Years I’m also on holiday at my parents house and completely out of routine ! Last night we went and had Lebanese food in Melbourne city with friends and family so I thought I’d share this homemade version of falafel, flat bread and chips. So wholesome when made at home! Here is a sweet potato chickpea falafel recipe I like. It’s not very traditional but super yummy!

2 small-medium sweet potatoes
1 red onion
½ tsp salt
1 flax egg (1 TBSP ground flax seeds mixed with 3 TBSP water)
1 400g can chickpeas- drained and rinsed
1 cup chopped kale
3½ TBSP of good quality bread crumbs
3 TBSP nutritional yeast
Method
Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave them on high for 10 minutes. If they are not cooked after 10 minutes, cook for a few more minutes until soft and.
Make flax egg and set aside for a few minutes until it thickens and gels.
Cut the cooked sweet potatoes in half lengthways and scoop out the flesh. Pop the sweet potato flesh along with all the other ingredients in a large food processor. Process until the mixture comes together, you will need to stop to scrape down the sides from time to time. It should be sticky but easily mouldable. If it is too wet, add more breadcrumbs, if it is too try, add a little water.
Form into pattie shapes with hands and place on a lightly greased baking tray. You can roll the patties through some extra breadcrumbs before putting them in the oven if you like. I like to spray the top with a little propellant-free avocado or olive oil spray to help them crispen slightly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes at 200 C
Serve in salads or wraps

Made the most gut friendly chocolate cake possible

Made the most gut friendly chocolate cake possible using @dhownaturefoods green banana flour. Green banana flour is a naturally gluten free flour that is very high in resistant starch. Resistant starch is amazing for lowering blood sugar as well as healing the gut lining. It’s one of the known things that can help heal leaky gut. Resistant starch acts like a prebiotic and the best thing about this cake is that it’s both a prebiotic and probiotic because it’s also made with yogurt. I have a full blog post write up about the benefits of resistant starch on my blog along with the recipe to this delicious cake. Link is in bio

Got a Christmas pancake recipe that takes half the

Got a Christmas pancake recipe that takes half the time and effort of making regular pancakes. People tend to forget about breakfast at Christmas but breakfast foods are some of my favourites! I always associate pancakes with special family occasions and Christmas should be no different, problem is they take so long to fry up especially if you have lots of people visiting. That’s why I love making oven baked sheet pancakes, all you need to do is put them in the oven and it makes a giant batch that could feed a lot of people on Christmas morning. I had to pull out my @grove.avocado.oil for this recipe. It’s my go to oil for baking and it ensures that the pancakes still stay nice and soft in the middle without drying out in the oven.

3 cups almond milk
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 cups wholemeal spelt flour
1 cup buckwheat flour
Pinch salt
1/3 cup @grove.avocado.oil
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp all spice
4 tsp baking powder

In a bowl combine the apple cider vinegar with the almond milk and allow it to sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly. Mix in the maple syrup and avocado oil. In a seperate bowl combine the flowers, baking powder and spices. Pour the liquid mixture over the dry mixture and mix until pancake batter forms. Line a sheet pan with baking paper and pour out mixture evenly. Bake for about 20 minutes at 180C or until a tooth pick comes out clean. Slice into squares and serve with vegan cream and berries and pecans #groveavocadooil #ad

Here is a really fun and delicious Christmas appet

Here is a really fun and delicious Christmas appetiser recipe, airfield potato cauliflower croquettes using low GI @carisma_potatoes available from Coles. I’m really not very neat at shaping them but even though they look a bit uneven they were absolutely amazing. Anything potato usually is! I also love that these particular potatoes don’t need to be peeled as the skin is very fine. Eating the potato with the skin is a great way to endure extra nutrition.

1/2 head small cauliflower
1/2 kg @carisma_potatoes (I like the baby ones)
2 tbsp vegan butter or olive oil
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp chopped parsley
1 tsp onion powder

For dipping:
1 cup flour of choice
1 cup milk of choice
1 cup bread crumbs

Chop cauliflower in large florets, cut potatoes into large chunks and boil in water until tender. Once cooked and easily pierced with fork drain excess water and mash with a potato masher. mix in salt, vegan butter or oil, nutritional yeast, onion powder and parsley. Once cool enough to touch form croquette shape with hands (you can make them any shape and size you like) dip each croquette first in milk, then flour, then bread crumbs, place in air fryer. Continue until finished and air fry for about 10 mins. If you don’t have airfryer you can bake in oven at 200 C for about 30 mins.

Have you ever tried dehydrating papaya? It really

Have you ever tried dehydrating papaya? It really helps to bring out some of its natural sweetness and adds a delicious burst of sweetness and mild flavour topped on any breakfast. It almost tasted like little bits of sugar mixed into the granola but guilt-free and packed full of nutritional goodness. I made an easy and delicious tropical papaya granola using dehydrated @rubyrisepapaya. I love tropical granola on top of vegan yogurt or tropical smoothies. Brings a little taste of summer to my breakfast.

1 ruby rise papaya - Available at Coles Supermarkets
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup almond butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup coconut flakes
1/3 cup raw almonds

For the papaya: remove seeds and skin and cut into small cubes. Place evenly on a dehydrator tray and dehydrate at 90 C for 8 hours. This may take longer depending on what dehydrator you have. If you do not have a dehydrator, set the oven to 90 C and bake (fan-forced) until moisture is removed leaving the oven door slightly open while baking (pop a wooden spoon in there). It's best to check on the papaya often to check when it is finished as dehydration times vary.
For granola, add all other ingredients into a large bowl and mix until well combined. Spread out onto a large oven tray and bake in the oven for 15 mins at 180 C. Once baked, mix in papaya and serve on top of yogurt or smoothies. #ad #rubyrisepapaya #papaya #tastethesupergoodness #breakfast #plantbased #granola
