(M) Autumn Harvest Chicken Salad - Seeking vitality
7 steps
Prep:15min
I Always strongly suggest selecting organic, non-GMO and if possible local produce as well as humanely, pasture raised, local, organic meats. Sourcing is absolutely key in my opinion to optimal health and well-being!
If you are cycle syncing, this recipe is most conducive to the Menstrual phase of your cycle.
If you are cycle syncing, go for dark meat chicken over breast. The dark meat poultry (this goes for turkey too) contains much more Taurine which is an amino acid that can stabilize mood and improve GABA for improved sleep when progesterone is low. Taurine is also thought to have antioxidant effects which can be beneficial when inflammation is high.
Sub for dark meat turkey if you wish and you will still reap the benefits!
