It's giving “BBQ goddess” energy without the food coma aftermath. We’re talking balance, flavor, and serious hormone-happy vibes.
Why This Recipe is Great - Pork is underrated, and I won’t hear otherwise. It’s packed with high-quality protein and B vitamins (your energy-boosting besties). Pair it with a crunchy, tangy apple slaw and boom—your tastebuds and your hormones are singing in harmony. Plus, this one’s easy to throw together, perfect for those nights when you wanna impress yourself (or someone else) with minimal effort.

Star Ingredients and Their Benefits
Pork Chops: A great source of lean protein and B6, which supports hormone production and metabolism. Plus, it’s hella satisfying.
Apples: Full of fiber and antioxidants. They help your liver (aka your detox queen) process excess hormones.
Cabbage: Cruciferous magic. It supports estrogen metabolism and keeps things moving in the gut.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Gut-loving, bloat-fighting, and a little zippy.
The Recipe - You’ll need:
For the pork:
2 bone-in pork chops
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste
For the slaw:
1 apple, julienned
1 cup shredded cabbage (purple or green)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
1 tsp honey or maple syrup
Salt + pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Rub pork chops with olive oil and season with your spice mix.
Grill pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until internal temp hits 145°F. Let them rest before serving.
Meanwhile, mix all slaw ingredients in a bowl. Toss well and let it chill for at least 10 minutes.
Plate your pork chops with a generous pile of slaw. Serve with roasted sweet potatoes or quinoa if you’re feelin’ extra.
