Why We Love this Recipe
Fiber + Protein = Balanced Blood Sugar
Chia seeds are rich in soluble fiber, which slows digestion and helps keep blood sugar steady. Pair that with the amino acids from protein powder, and you’ve got a steady-release energy breakfast that prevents the spikes and crashes that can leave you moody or craving sugar later.
Hormone Health Support
Bananas provide magnesium and B6—nutrients tied to progesterone support and stress regulation—while protein provides the building blocks your body uses to produce and balance hormones. Together, they nourish not just your muscles, but your mood, cycle, and resilience.
Cozy Ritual
This pudding is the opposite of a rushed breakfast. It’s creamy, grounding, and can be prepped ahead—waiting for you like a love note in the fridge. A sprinkle of cinnamon adds a warming, seasonal touch and supports insulin sensitivity. Think of it as a slow, steady foundation for your hormones and energy.
Protein, Prioritized
Protein plays a bigger role in women’s health than most of us realize. Beyond supporting lean muscle, it’s essential for steady energy, balanced blood sugar, and hormone production. Perelel’s Triple-Support Protein was formulated with this in mind—20 grams of complete, plant-based protein alongside prebiotic fiber for gut health and creatine to support both cognitive and physical performance. Designed to be safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and third-party tested for quality, it offers a simple way to anchor your daily nutrition with real benefits you can feel.
