Welcome to Our 6 Ingredient Dishes Series: Prawn Mix Bowl

Today, we're excited to share a recipe that's both simple and packed with flavour:  our Seed + Oat Prawn Mix Bowl. This fresh and flavourful dish is perfect for a quick, healthy meal. With only six main ingredients, it's easy to make and loaded with nutrients to support your hormonal health through seed cycling and overall well-being.

Why Seed Cycling?

Seed cycling is a natural method to balance hormones, improve menstrual health, and support overall well-being. By consuming specific seeds during different phases of your menstrual cycle, you can promote optimal hormone levels. Here are the phases and the seeds involved:

  1. Follicular Phase (Day 1 to 14): Flax seeds and pumpkin seeds help boost estrogen levels and support ovulation.
  2. Luteal Phase (Day 15 to 28): Sunflower seeds and sesame seeds aid in progesterone production and maintaining hormonal balance.

Seeds are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that are crucial for hormonal health. Incorporating them into your diet can provide numerous benefits, including:

  • Flax Seeds: High in omega-3 fatty acids and lignans, which help balance estrogen levels.
  • Pumpkin Seeds: Rich in zinc and magnesium, supporting hormone production and reducing PMS symptoms.
  • Sunflower Seeds: Contain vitamin E, selenium, and omega-6 fatty acids, which support progesterone production.
  • Sesame Seeds: Provide lignans and omega-6 fatty acids, contributing to overall hormonal balance.

The Power of Cooking from Scratch

Cooking from scratch is an empowering way to take control of your health. By preparing meals yourself, you can:

  • Ensure Quality: Sourcing high-quality ingredients allows you to avoid harmful additives and preservatives found in many processed foods.
  • Customize Nutrition: Tailor your meals to meet your specific dietary needs and preferences.
  • Foster Family Bonding: Cooking together can strengthen family bonds and instill healthy eating habits in children.

Why We Avoid Vegetable Oils

When trying to heal your hormones, it's crucial to avoid vegetable oils. These oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can cause inflammation and disrupt hormonal balance. Instead, opt for healthier fats such as:

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO): Rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants.
  • Coconut Oil: Contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that support metabolism and overall health.

    • Once grilled, cut the corn kernels off the cob.

  4. Make the Dressing:

    • In a small bowl, combine the Remedy Superb Seasoning Mix, 1/2 cup EVOO, diced Spanish onion, diced coriander, diced red chillies, honey, cayenne (if using), and lime juice. Mix well.

  5. Assemble the Bowls:

    • Place a handful of corn chips at the bottom of each bowl.
    • Top with cooked prawns (or kidney beans), diced tomatoes, grilled corn kernels, and grilled pineapple slices.
