Iron-Rich Foods for When I’m on my Period… =P

October 12, 2016 by Lisa Le Leave a Comment

Iron-Rich Foods for that time of the month XD

I feel like by now you folks are well acquainted with the fact that I have no qualms about airing it all out online. I’ve talked about break-ups, I’ve talked about pooping my pants on the subway. Half the population of the world menstruates and it’s a pretty key driver in my hunger when that time comes, so it’s probably a good idea to talk about it.

My period is coming soon, and I feel like people don’t eat according to their body’s cravings sometimes, and that’s totally something that should change. Check out all the recipes I tend to fall back to when my body craves some extra carbs and iron (and chocolate). Also be sure to check out my video about the topic!

Vegan Peanut Butter Cups

Spiced Tomato Red Lentils

Vegan Yellow Dal

Bun Cha Gio Chay

Quinoa Bowl with Chilli Spiced Chickpeas,
Wilted Kale, Pear, and Garlic Chipotle Mayo

Kale Tahini Rice Bowl

Deconstructed Spicy Avocado Sushi Bowl
