This morning’s brunch is Cacao & Maca Chia Oat Porridge.
I decided on this little bowl of ingredients because it is jammed packed with hormone balancing benefits:
-
* Oats – classed as phytoestrogens which are plant foods that can provide a weak oestrogen effect in the body and balance levels (either up or down as needed).
* Chia Seeds – another phytoestrogen as well as being a good protein source for hormone production and a source of omega 3 fats for healthy cell membranes
* Maca Powder – this is a powdered root that has been shown to support hormone balance (if you are going to include this in your diet you should build up levels slowly)
* Walnuts – another source of protein and omega 3 fats
* Blueberries – these are low sugar fruits providing a good source of vitamin C to support adrenal health as well as being high in antioxidants
What a tasty bowl of goodness!!
