The Cucumber Avocado Salad for Hormone Harmony

Guess what? A fresh, new year means fresh, new recipes!

This Cucumber Avocado Salad is not only delicious, it also makes for a great snack or side dish.

Bonus; Avocados and cucumbers are nutritional powerhouses for women in perimenopause and menopause! Avocados help with hormone balance by helping increase progesterone, our keep calm hormone which tends to fluctuate in both perimenopause and menopause.?

Then there is weight management, and heart health, while cucumbers offer excellent hydration and cooling relief from hot flashes. Together, they provide a tasty way to support your body through this stage of life. ????

And if you need a little protein kick, add some chilled, cooked wild caught shrimp with an added boost of thyroid healthy iodine (our thyroid helps regulate our metabolism among other things).

The secret to this recipe is letting those fresh veggies soak up all the goodness of the dressing — so don’t rush this part!?
