Cycle Synching With Food & Fitness

Hi, guys! So, I’m talking about hormones today! Woohoo! Aren’t they a blast for us gals, especially during *that* time of the month? While I don’t believe that there’s any woman who can say she loves alllllll of the fun side effects that come with the menstrual cycle, I DO believe that taking the time to learn about our bodies and our hormones can make a world of a difference in how we feel! No clue where to start? I highly recommend reading  Taking Charge of Your Fertility . It’s crazy to think I didn’t learn how my body really works until I was almost 38 years old!

Make the entire recipe in one pot from start to finish. Don’t heat up your whole kitchen. Use up the last of those summer tomatoes. Make a few batches and freeze for colder evenings. You don’t have to babysit it while it cooks. RECIPE NOTES: This will freeze pretty well for up to about 4 months. Depending on your blender, you may get it close to smooth, but not completely. If you can’t get it totally smooth, allow it to cool and transfer to a high power blender like a ninja
