Does anyone have the broccoli slaw recipe from the Plant Paradox quick and easy version when you have PCOS or hormonal imbalances

Why Broccoli Slaw Works for PCOS and Hormonal Imbalances

I’ve seen countless women aged 45-54 struggle with hormonal imbalances that make every diet fail. This broccoli slaw from my Plant Paradox Quick and Easy approach is a game-changer. It’s lectin-free, low-carb, and packed with fiber that stabilizes blood sugar—critical when managing diabetes and blood pressure alongside weight. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli help metabolize excess estrogen, easing PCOS symptoms and reducing that stubborn hormonal belly fat. One serving delivers over 6 grams of fiber with minimal calories, supporting satiety without spiking insulin.

The Quick & Easy Broccoli Slaw Recipe

This recipe takes under 10 minutes and serves 4. You’ll need: 1 (12-oz) bag organic broccoli slaw mix, 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (check for no added sugar), ½ teaspoon sea salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or cilantro, and ¼ cup toasted pumpkin seeds for crunch.

In a large bowl, whisk olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Add the broccoli slaw and herbs, tossing to coat evenly. Fold in pumpkin seeds last. That’s it—no cooking required. Each serving has approximately 140 calories, 11g fat, 8g carbs (4g net), and 4g protein. For variety, add shredded red cabbage or a sprinkle of turmeric for extra anti-inflammatory power.
