Glow Bowl: Hormone-Balancing Sweet Potato & Greens Bowl

Why It Works:

• Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber and beta-carotene, which supports progesterone production and gut health.
• Cruciferous veggies (like broccoli) help the liver metabolize estrogen safely.
• Healthy fats from tahini and avocado support hormone production.
• Protein (like chickpeas or eggs) helps stabilize blood sugar and curb cravings.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 1 medium sweet potato, cubed
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 handful kale or spinach
• 1/2 avocado, sliced
• 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (or 2 soft-boiled eggs)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt, pepper, turmeric

For the Hormone-Glowing Tahini Dressing:

• 2 tbsp tahini
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2–3 tbsp water to thin

Instructions

1. Roast the Veggies
   Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss sweet potatoes and broccoli in olive oil, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and tender.
2. Sauté Greens
   Lightly sauté kale or spinach in a drizzle of olive oil for 2–3 minutes until wilted.
3. Prepare Dressing
   Whisk all tahini dressing ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Add water to reach pourable consistency.
4. Assemble Your Glow Bowl
   In a bowl, layer:
   • Roasted sweet potato and broccoli
   • Sautéed greens
   • Chickpeas (or eggs)
   • Sliced avocado
   • Drizzle tahini dressing over the top
5. Optional Glow Boost:
   Sprinkle with hemp seeds, ground flax, or a few fermented veggies (like sauerkraut) for gut-hormone synergy.
