Like carrot cake in a breakfast bowl. Nutrient dense, full of omegas & antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and immune supporting. Another recipe to support your spleen & stomach. I’m seeing a lot of Qi deficiency, exhaustion & burnout in clinic. The spleen is the organ related to helping us process emotionally & “digesting” our experiences and the world around us. After last year, we need to take a lot of care of our spleen/stomach & food is a good place to start.
