Ever tried lentils for breakfast? I whipped up a chai lentil porridge once on a whim, and it’s now a favorite! With 25 grams of protein, it’s anti-inflammatory, filling, and perfect if you’re syncing with your menstrual cycle—ideal for the ovulatory phase. Sweet lentils might sound odd, but trust me, this one’s worth a try!
