PMS Balancing Peach Chia Pudding
When I'm PMS'ing there is one thing I always gravitate towards, chocolate! Any size, in any way.. Just to get that hit of satisfaction. Which lasts 2 seconds (if that) What the body is actually craving is something to stabilize curbs. Managing blood sugars, is super important at this stage of your cycle. I created a recipe that helps with curbs but also tastes so sweet and satisfying. Did you know that chia is such a powerhouse? The fiber and Omega 3 fats support hormone production, and reduce bloating.

This PMS balancing peach chia pudding is exactly what your body has been craving, but our feelings express the exact opposite. All I want is everything I don't need, sugars that make my blood sugar spike, instant carb hits, that again, make my blood sugars spike and crash! So I'm trying to be more in tune with my body and recognizing the PMS symptoms when they come.
And here's why you need this too: Chia for Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. High protein from Greek yogurt and fairlife milk to satisfy cravings and support gut health from its probiotics. Turmeric to reduce inflammation and bloating. Peaches for a slow releasing carbohydrate, keeping blood sugars leveled and prevents crashes.
Overall a breakfast powerhouse! Or snack (if you're like me today hehe)
