    @drhazelwallace

    1 HOUR MEAL PREP ā° If I could only recommend one eating pattern for women’s health, it would probably be a Mediterranean style dietary pattern. Research suggests it may support fertility, women with PMOS, endometriosis-related pain and health after the menopause, alongside its well-established benefits for heart and metabolic health. This week’s meal prep is inspired by those principles: 🄣 Granola Breakfast Parfait with homemade nut & seed granola, live yogurt and berries. šŸ„— Pearl Couscous & Butter Bean Salad with halloumi, olives and a lemon herb dressing. 🄚 Prep-Ahead Egg Cups with pesto, spinach, peppers and feta. Comment ā€œRECIPESā€ below and I’ll send all three recipes straight to your DMs. Which one are you making first? šŸ‘‡ #mealprep #nourishingher #mediterraneandiet

Their fermented chickpea salad is packed with flavor and has become one of my favorite additions to meal prep. Plus, it’s an easy way to incorporate fermented foods into my routine without any extra cooking or prep time! šŸ„— #AD #healthymealprep #highprotein #easyrecipes
