This is one of those simple meals that quietly does a lot for your body.
You’ve got protein from the chicken to keep you full, healthy fats from olive oil to support hormones, and fiber-rich veggies to help with digestion and hormone balance. The arugula pesto adds extra support for liver detox (aka helping your body process hormones more efficiently).
It’s easy, balanced, and exactly the kind of meal that helps stabilize energy and reduce cravings—especially in the second half of your cycle when your body needs a little more support.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Arugula
- 1 cup Basil Leaves

- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 2 lbs Chicken Thighs (boneless, skinless, sliced)
- 2 Carrot (medium, sliced)
- 1 head Cauliflower (medium, cut into florets)
Instructions:
