This is my favorite ovulation snack! It is not only so tasty, but it is filled with antioxidants, fiber, and hormone supporting nutrients to optimize fertility and detoxification. Carrots are high in beta-carotene, which help to regulate estrogen levels and support progesterone production. The lemon is high in vitamin C which is wonderful for aiding in iron absorption during this phase of your cycle. The tahini contains a compound called lignans, which also helps with estrogen balance. Overall this is an amazing refreshing snack that you didn’t know you needed.
Ingredients:
Whole organic carrots
1 beet
1 can of organic chickpeas
Zest and juice from 1 lemon
1 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp tahini
¼ + 1 tsp cup extra virgin olive oil
Recipe:
Cut a washed beet in half and place on a baking tray.
Drizzle with 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil and bake for 1 hour at 425 ℉.
Let the beet cool and then carefully peel the skin off.
Add the peeled beet, chickpeas, lemon zest, lemon juice, sea salt, and tahini to a food processor and blend until smooth.
When thoroughly combined and smooth, add in ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil a little bit at a time and continue to blend.
Once finished blending, add the hummus to a glass jar and enjoy with organic carrots.
