This cottage cheese bowl packs 18g of protein, and is blood sugar management in a bowl! Balancing your blood sugar is the #1 thing you should focus on if you’re trying to balance your hormones - and every part of this bowl does that from the protein to fiber to olive oil. So there you have it- snacking is good for your health.
This is great for any phase of the menstrual cycle, but I would prioritize this for the ovulatory phase.
The ingredient in this recipe that is beneficial for your ovulatory phase is tomato. During the ovulatory phase, estrogen and testosterone surge, so you want to eat foods that help your body balance out the spike in estrogen and support the heart.
Tomatoes are great for ovulation because they are liver-friendly, and easily digestible, which makes space for the body to focus on metabolizing estrogen. They are also rich in vitamin C which aids proper hormone production.
