Ingredients

Pineapple Rice

• 1 cup - White rice (organic)

Different ways to customize this meal

This meal is super customizable. It was hard to make a recipe card for this because I make it differently all the time. If you REALLY like coconut, use coconut milk and coconut oil for the rice. But if you don’t like coconut that much, use water or bone broth and butter to make the rice.

Rice Variations

• Use coconut oil instead of butter

• Use green onions instead of white or sweet onions

• Use coconut milk instead of water

• Use bone broth instead of water

• Use 1 cup of bone broth and 1 cup of coconut milk or water

Protein Variations

• Scallops instead of shrimp, or in addition to the shrimp.

• Either the Teton grass-fed Polish sausage or any kielbasa works really well.

Seasoning variations

I love the Tongue Thai’d seasoning from Nose to Tail, but I also love their Amaz’n Cajun seasoning with this meal. Not only are these seasonings flavorful, but they have no sugar, fillers, MSG, irradiation, flow agents, or any other wacky things that end up in other seasonings. Just the flavor!

When is the best time to incorporate more carbs into your diet?

Ladies, did you know that towards the end of your monthly cycle is the best time to incorporate more carbs into your diet? Around day 21 of your cycle, when your estrogen begins to drop and progesterone begins to rise, your body requires more glucose to handle the hormonal change. It also requires more magnesium. So this is when I start incorporating more healthy carbs (aka whole food carbs (fruits/veggies/white rice) into my diet.

I personally consider organic, white rice to be a healthy carb, so I make more rice-based dishes between day 21 and day 3 or 4, of my new cycle. If you suffer from severe PMS or PMDD, or struggle with sugar cravings towards the end of your monthly cycle, try incorporating more healthy carbs into your diet during that time of the month. Give your body the fuel it needs to thrive and function. :)
