Recipes

At our Spring New Moon Renewal Women’s Circle, we shared more than just energy and connection — we also nourished our bodies with vibrant, gut-friendly foods designed to support hormonal balance and inner vitality.

🌿 Nourish Bowl Salad
This colourful bowl was built on a foundation of seasonal greens and crisp vegetables, layered with plant-based protein and healthy fats. The combination of textures and flavours made it both grounding and uplifting — exactly the energy we wanted to bring into spring. Light, fresh, and deeply satisfying, it’s a perfect meal for balancing blood sugar, supporting digestion, and keeping energy steady throughout the day.

🥗 White Bean Salad
This wholesome salad combined creamy white beans with fresh herbs, seasonal vegetables, and a light dressing to support digestion and provide long-lasting energy. Packed with plant-based protein, fibre, and minerals, it offered a grounding, satisfying element to the menu — a beautiful reminder of how simple, nourishing foods can deeply support both gut and hormonal health.

🌸 Chia Pudding Dessert
To finish, we enjoyed a creamy chia pudding infused with subtle sweetness and topped with seasonal fruit. Chia seeds are rich in fibre, omega-3s, and minerals, making this dessert as nourishing as it is delicious. It was the perfect way to end the evening — a treat that supports gut health and hormone harmony, while still feeling like a little indulgence.

These recipes weren’t just food — they were part of the healing and renewal we created together. Eating in alignment with the season helps us feel more balanced, connected, and supported in our body’s natural rhythms.

These cottage cheese pancakes are light, fluffy, and full of goodness — perfect for a nourishing breakfast or satisfying snack! Made in the blender with just three simple ingredients — cottage cheese, eggs, and rolled oats — they’re quick to whip up and taste absolutely delicious. 

This recipe is SIBO Biphasic Diet - Phase 2 friendly and you can swap the rolled oats out for almond meal/flour. This is also suitable for SIBO and also higher in protein, fibre and good fats.

Mediterranean Chicken Bake – A Nourishing, Family-Friendly One-Pan Meal

Looking for a simple, wholesome dinner that’s full of flavour and supports your gut health and hormone balance? This Mediterranean Chicken Bake is the perfect choice. Packed with colourful vegetables, aromatic herbs, and lean protein, this nourishing dish is designed to make weeknight meals both effortless and healing.

As a naturopath specialising in women’s health, I love sharing meals that are not only delicious but also aligned with supporting digestion, reducing inflammation, and fuelling busy lives—whether you’re managing perimenopausal symptoms, supporting your family, or just want to feel your best.

This one-pan wonder is gluten-free, dairy-free, and rich in nutrients that promote hormonal balance and gut wellness. Ideal for meal prep or a vibrant family dinner, it’s a recipe you'll keep coming back to.

This warm and hearty casserole is perfect for autumn—packed with anti-inflammatory root vegetables, gut-healing bone broth, and hormone-supportive herbs. It’s easy to digest, comforting, and deeply nourishing.

Why it’s good for your gut:

• Bone broth supports the intestinal lining and is rich in collagen, gelatin, and minerals.

• Root vegetables like sweet potato and carrot are high in fiber and prebiotics.

• Garlic and onion help feed good bacteria in the gut.

• Fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary support digestion and reduce inflammation.

This Chicken tender in peanut sauce with vermicelli noodle salad is a fun and refreshing Asian inspired bowl of goodness which includes protein, fresh vegetables and herbs mixed with a delicious and easy peanut sauce.

There’s nothing quite as comforting as a warm cup of mulled apple cider. This timeless beverage isn't just about indulgence—it's a wonderful way to nourish your body while delighting your senses.

Packed with natural sweetness and the gentle warmth of spices, mulled apple cider offers numerous health benefits. Apples are rich in antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which supports immunity and combats inflammation. The added spices—like cinnamon, cloves, and ginger—not only enhance the flavour but also boost digestion, stabilize blood sugar, and promote circulation.

Mulled apple cider is a drink that goes beyond taste; it’s an opportunity to slow down, connect with loved ones, and take in the joys of the season. Whether you’re curled up with a book or hosting friends, this beverage offers both comfort and wellness in every sip. 

Here in Australia, I do recommend adding this traditional drink into your Christmas festivities, whether you're cooling off under the ceiling fan, air conditioner or sitting around a fire pit or campfire.

Crispy rice salad is becoming a popular dinner time meal now that the weather is warming up. This is a light Asian style salad and I've made it SIBO Biphasic Diet friendly. You can swap the Tamari Sauce over to Teriyaki Sauce for another flavour but this won't be SIBO friendly but still delicious. 

This salad promotes hormone balance, reduces inflammation, and supports gut health—all integral aspects of wellness in naturopathy. Whether you’re managing SIBO, aiming for hormone balance, or simply prioritising anti-inflammatory foods, this recipe aligns with naturopathic principles for optimal health.

Let's celebrate Spring and new beginnings with this easy to make, delicious and nutritious dinner that all the family will enjoy.

Replace the onion with eggplant cubes/chunks to make the recipe SIBO Biphasic Diet friendly.
