Just got off your period?

For my girlies that bleed, let’s nourish our cells by eating wealthy.

After your period, you need to be eating nutrient dense foods to replenish your body. This is a favorite of mine to bring back that glow ✨

Butternut Squash + Butternut Acorn

SUPER EASY TO MAKE!

Cut the squash and acorn in half, remove the seeds (save if you want to!) and sprinkle salt and cinnamon on both. Add a little oil ( I added avocado oil).

Roast in oven for 1 hour on 400 degrees.

Spoon out the soft squash and put in a bowl. Add vanilla extract, honey or agave, cinnamon, nutmeg, coconut milk/ Oatmilk/ almond milk. You can put I. A blender, or manually mash.

Eat. And eat some more! This is great!

... Read moreAfter your period, maintaining a balanced diet is essential for replenishing lost nutrients. It’s crucial to focus on nutrient-dense foods that can help rejuvenate your body and restore energy. Butternut squash is a fantastic choice for this purpose. Rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and potassium, it offers various health benefits, such as promoting good digestion and supporting immune function. To make your dish more wholesome, consider adding other healthy ingredients like leafy greens, seeds, or nuts, which are excellent sources of protein and healthy fats. The versatility of butternut squash makes it a perfect canvas for various flavors; you can experiment with spices and herbs to suit your palate. Whether you prefer baking, roasting, or blending, this squash can fit seamlessly into your post-period recovery plan. Pair your squash dish with a variety of colors and textures from fruits and vegetables. A colorful plate not only delights the eyes but also ensures that you are receiving a broad spectrum of nutrients necessary for optimal health. Remember, self-care after your menstrual cycle is about nourishing your body with the right foods and embracing the recovery process!
