This is your ultimate 10 minute POWER LUNCH to keep you going strong! Our Hormone Lovin’ Cilantro Pesto, Prawn & Konjac Noodle Bowl is packed with antioxidants, protein, fibre & healthy fats, along with cleansing superstars.  

Here is how’ll you’ll benefit: 

Brain boost: if you experience the 2pm crash, you need proper fuel to keep you going & prevent blood sugar lows. This means adding more protein (this recipe has 30gr), B vitamins (found avocados), nootropics (substances found in Lion’s Mane mushrooms that improve cognitive function, learning, & memory) & insulin regulating fibre (Konjac noodles).  

Hormone balance: the ingredients provide anti-inflammatory (Chaga), vitamin E for hot flashes (sunflower seeds), gut supporting (fibre & Maitake mushrooms), blood sugar balance (Tremella & Maitake) & stress modulating effects.   

Detox: CIlantro helps to chelate to heavy metals, fibre binds to toxins, & avocado helps the body produce glutathione, our master antioxidant. Due to it’s incredibly high antioxidant values, Chaga helps to protect DNA by fighting free radical damage from toxins.
