LUTEAL PHASE RECIPE
Slow oats with B6 banana
Luteal phase
A warm, steadying bowl for luteal mornings. Slow-cooked oats and banana deliver the complex carbs and B6 that help smooth out mood as your period approaches.
Why it works for this phase
Vitamin B6, found in banana and flaxseed, supports mood regulation in the luteal phase, while steel-cut oats provide slow-release carbohydrates that keep energy and serotonin steadier through the morning.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup steel-cut oats
- 1.5 cups water plus a pinch of salt
- 1 banana, mashed
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground flaxseed for B6
- Drizzle of maple syrup
