If your body is begging for warmth, comfort, and real nourishment during your period — listen. This isn’t the week to reach for cold smoothies and raw salads at 7am. Nope. This is your permission slip to make breakfast cozy, grounding, and deeply healing.
Enter: the Period Power Plate. She’s savory. She’s simple. And she’s secretly loaded with all the nutrients your bleeding body needs.

Why this recipe is everything during your menstrual phase:
Your hormones are at their lowest during your period, and your body is working hard to shed your uterine lining and reset your system. That means you're burning through iron, magnesium, and energy like a champ — and you need to replenish.
This recipe hits all the marks:
Easy to digest
Full of healthy fats, fiber, and plant-based minerals
Gentle on blood sugar (no crashing at 10am)
Genuinely satisfying so you won’t snack your way through cramps
🌿 Star Ingredients & Hormonal Benefits:
Eggs – A complete protein and rich in choline for brain and hormone function. Supports tissue repair and energy.
Sweet Potato – A complex carb that keeps blood sugar steady and supports progesterone metabolism.
Leafy Greens (like spinach or kale) – Rich in iron and magnesium to help combat cramps and replenish what you’re losing during your bleed.
Pumpkin & Flax Seeds – Begin your seed cycling here! Pumpkin supports estrogen detox, while flax helps gently reintroduce estrogen at the right time.
Olive Oil or Ghee – Healthy fats help your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins and support hormone production.

💡 Big-Sister Pro Tips:
Double toast your sweet potato slices in a toaster or air fryer for the perfect crispy base without any gluten or grains.
Drizzle tahini or pesto over your greens for extra hormone-loving fats and flavor.
Batch-prep your sweet potato toast by slicing and storing them in the fridge so you can just pop them in the toaster each morning.
This isn’t just breakfast — it’s a ritual of nourishment. Bleeding is powerful. Feed yourself like the divine hormone goddess you are.
