My Skin Healing Rice
literally can't stop making this recipe ππ₯₯πΏ plus bonus recipes: tofu + stir fried veggies
Okay so I looooveeee rice
Coconut curry with white rice
Brown rice green goddess bowl
Rice cakes with avocado and smoked salmon
it is truly such a staple in my household
and at the same time - white rice on itβs own isnβt exactly the most nutrient dense option
so obviously, I we needed to find a way to use it so it still bumps up our hormones, support our skin, and nourishes our body
so weβre dropping the deets:
My fav superfood skin rice below
Fav brands for bone broth + rice + coconut water
+ 2 bonus mini recipes (crispy BBQ tofu + veggie stir fry)
ππΌ shall we ladies?
So this Superfood rice was actually inspired by a male health influencer that my boyfriend looovesss named Noah Ryan (heβs honestly v cool)
He calls it his βsuperfoodβ rice and brings in cilantro, coconut oil, butter, etc.
so we do things a little differently around here but he completely changed the game by showing me how you can make rice with coconut water⦠I mean truly, who knew?
The Ingredients:
THE RICE:
Weβre using white rice hereβeasy to digest, gentle on the gut, and a quick source of glucose to stabilize blood sugar when paired with healthy fats and protein. cause balanced blood sugar = balanced hormones.
THE COCONUT WATER (or MILK for creamier version):
Instead of water, weβre cooking this rice in coconut water, which is naturally rich in potassium, magnesium, and electrolytes - all key for skin health. These minerals are crucial for adrenal function, hydration, and cellular energy.
THE BONE BROTH:
Must I say more? Bone broth adds collagen, glycine, glutamine, and key minerals to support gut lining repair, hormone detox, and overall skin health. Itβs a fav in my household.
THE GREENS:
This rice can easily be a way to sneak in some veg, or you can take the herbal route πΏ
I like either adding in chopped spinach or if youβre looking for more of a medicinal route, then remember that herbs are potent detoxifiers and mineral powerhouses. Now, really, you can go with your vibe for this one. Hereβs a little cheat sheet below too:
β Cilantro binds to heavy metals and supports detox
β Parsley is rich in vitamin C and folate, key for hormone synthesis
β Dill soothes digestion and provides trace minerals
Bonus: All three support bile flow, which is essential for breaking down fats and clearing hormones like estrogen from the body.
