These are quick to prep, blood sugar balancing, and loaded with ingredients your hormones love - think flaxseeds for estrogen metabolism, almond flour for healthy fats, and collagen or protein powder for stable energy. I’ve been grabbing them on the go between client calls and feeling so much better than when I used to reach for something sugary.

- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup collagen peptides or clean vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon

- In a bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, eggs, oil, syrup, and vanilla.
- Add in almond flour, flaxseed, protein powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined.

These muffins are hormone-friendly because:

- Protein balances blood sugar and supports ovulation
- Healthy fats help regulate hormones + keep you full
Perfect for a morning snack, lunchbox addition, or 3 PM blood sugar crash prevention.
I threw this Bruschetta Flatbread together one night when I wanted something quick and feel-good—and now it’s on repeat over here. It’s got that crispy, savory, fresh vibe I crave, but it’s secretly packed with goodness too.
The olive oil and lean chicken make it heart-healthy, the feta adds a little calcium boost for bones (plus that salty flavor I love), and the tomatoes + garlic give it a nice immune-supporting kick.
Basically, it tastes like comfort food but checks all the boxes for feeling good after.
Ingredients:
- 4 Tomato (finely diced)
- 3 Garlic (cloves, minced)
- 2 tbsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup Basil Leaves (chopped)
- 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/2 cup Feta Cheese (crumbled)
- Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
- 4 Brown Rice Tortilla
- 8 ozs Chicken Thighs With Skin
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 410ºF (210ºC). Add the tomatoes, garlic, basil, vinegar, olive oil, feta, salt and pepper to a mixing bowl. Toss well and let sit for 15 minutes to marinate.
- Spread the mixture over the brown rice tortillas using a slotted spoon to drain the excess liquid (too much liquid will make the tortilla soggy). Top with cooked, diced chicken thigh (optional). Place on parchment paper on a pan and bake for 14 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Run a spatula between the parchment paper and tortilla to detach any parts that might have become stuck while baking. Slide onto a plate and slice with a pizza cutter. Enjoy!
