Notes

This is a super quick and simple recipe that you can adapt to your personal nutritional needs. For instance, if you want to focus on gut health, the above recipe is perfect for you. You can even add a little l-glutamine  powder to the mix to boost the mucus membranes.

If you're looking to optimize your hormonal health, I would suggest adding pumpkin seeds as well as flaxseeds.

If you're looking to gain muscle, add a protein powder.

If you need to up your selenium, add chopped brazil nuts.

If you want to regulate your blood sugar levels, add 2 tsps of cinnamon.
