Combine indulgence and hormonal balance with this comforting toast, ideal for peaceful mornings or a revitalizing snack. Tahini (sesame paste) provides incomparable creaminess and essential minerals, while the figs, packed with fiber, offer natural sweetness without a blood sugar spike.
The secret to this recipe lies in the addition of cinnamon, a valuable spice for stabilizing energy, and the choice of sourdough or rye bread with a low glycemic index. A perfect combination to gently nourish your body and support your overall well-being during perimenopause.
Ingredients
Preparation
-
Lightly toast your bread. Toasting it (especially if it's sourdough) makes it more digestible.
-
Spread the sesame puree generously.
-
Cut the figs in half or into quarters and arrange them harmoniously on the sesame.
-
Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cinnamon is excellent for preventing late-morning cravings.
-
Add your sesame seeds or pistachio pieces for crunch.
Note
Sesame (Tahini): This is one of the best plant-based sources of calcium. It also contains lignans, polyphenols that act as natural hormone modulators (phytoestrogens) to help compensate for the drop in estrogen.
Figs: Rich in potassium and magnesium, they help fight water retention and support the nervous system (mood). Their fibers are very gentle on sensitive intestines.
