Would you eat this for breakfast?
Sliced cucumber
Everything bagel seasoning
Cream (tested out cream cheese, cottage cheese & Greek yogurt)
Smoked salmon
Capers
I especially enjoy this in my luteal phase when I am feeling those PMS symptoms creeping in. My body has different nutritional needs in each phase of my cycle & this helps nourish me in so many ways:
Physically: get that protein in early to fuel my day
Mentally: healthy fats support my brain
Emotionally: a special meal makes me feel valued
Spiritually: intentional eating with gratitude prayers for those who caught & produced this food connects me closer with God & others
PS. Even though I no longer have a menstrual bleed since my hysterectomy, my body still runs hormonal cycles. Yours does too.
