LUTEAL PHASE RECIPE
Sweet potato and tahini bowl
Luteal phase
This is luteal-phase comfort done well. Warm roasted sweet potato, creamy tahini, and a scatter of pomegranate, built to satisfy cravings while keeping your blood sugar steady.
Why it works for this phase
In the luteal phase, your body wants complex carbohydrates and your blood sugar swings more easily. Sweet potato delivers slow-release energy, tahini adds magnesium and healthy fat, and chickpeas bring protein to flatten the curve and quiet the cravings.
