Anti-Bloat Green Goddess Bowl
Bloating is one of the most universal complaints of women with PCOS, perimenopause, and gut dysbiosis. This bowl is built to deflate it. Broccoli contains sulforaphane that upregulates the liver's phase-II detoxification (clearing excess oestrogen). Cucumber is a natural diuretic. Avocado's monounsaturated fats slow gastric emptying and reduce gas-producing rapid fermentation. Mint relaxes intestinal smooth muscle.
Ingredients
- 200 g broccoli florets
- ½ ripe avocado
- ½ cucumber, ribboned
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 1 tbsp broccoli or alfalfa sprouts
- 2 tbsp tahini
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Small handful fresh mint
- 1 garlic clove
- 2–3 tbsp cold water
- Pinch of sea salt
Method
Step-by-step instructions
Steam the broccoli
Steam broccoli florets 4–5 minutes until just tender with a slight crunch. Do not over-cook — sulforaphane drops significantly with prolonged heat. Transfer to a bowl immediately.
Make the dressing
Blend or whisk tahini, lemon juice, mint, garlic, water, and salt until smooth and pourable. Thin with extra water if needed.
Assemble the bowl
Arrange broccoli, avocado slices, and cucumber ribbons in a bowl. Scatter pumpkin seeds and sprouts over the top.
Dress and serve
Drizzle mint-tahini dressing generously. Eat immediately while the broccoli is warm.
