RECIPE: Glow & Hormone Balance Bowl
After 40, declining estrogen impacts our collagen production, hydration and skin elasticity. Simple additions to your diet like more antioxidants and healthy fats help counter this.
Breakfast is often where our best intentions slip away… Whether it’s lack of time, decision fatigue or simply putting yourself last in the morning rush.
That’s why we’re loving this Glow & Hormone Balance Bowl. It’s beauty nutrition your skin recognises immediately.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup Greek yoghurt or coconut yoghurt
- ½ cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- Sprinkle of cinnamon
- Optional: protein powder and creatine powder
METHOD
- Layer everything in a bowl - super simple! If you are adding protein powder, just mix this through the yoghurt first before adding the other ingredients on top.
BEHIND THE INGREDIENTS
Each ingredient is in this bowl for the skin-replenishing benefits:
Greek yoghurt or coconut yoghurt
Provides protein (greek) and gut-supportive bacteria to help nourish from within, supporting clearer, more resilient skin.
Berries
Rich in antioxidants that help protect collagen from breakdown and support a brighter, more even complexion.
Chia seeds
A source of omega-3s and fibre to support hydration at a cellular level and help maintain skin suppleness.
Flaxseed
Contains plant lignans that may support hormonal balance, alongside healthy fats for skin comfort and elasticity.
Almond butter
Provides vitamin E and healthy fats to support the skin barrier and help lock in moisture.
Cinnamon
Helps support healthy blood sugar balance, which is linked to skin clarity and reduced inflammation.
Protein powder
Supports collagen production, skin repair and helps maintain muscle mass and skin structure with age.
Creatine powder
Supports mental clarity, focus and cognitive resilience, particularly during periods of hormonal change and increased mental load.
