The quickest way to BALANCE cortisol in our bodies is with our DIETS. Every time we put a fork or spoon to our mouths we are CREATING a CORTISOL spike or we are REDUCING cortisol in our bodies. That’s the exciting part our mouths play a BIG role in our hormone production. This recipe is designed to help you count your PLANT points. We are going to be TALKING a lot about PLANT points and trying to HIT 30 PLANT points per day. Come over to The Wellness Way to Learn more about this.

I wanted to share with you a couple of recipes from my NEW 10 Day Cortisol Reset Program

Salad Ingredients:

  • 4 cups mixed greens (such as spinach, arugula, and baby kale)
  • 1 cup of fresh broccoli sprouts
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage (green or purple)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 1/4 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
