Spiced broccoli and pomegranate super bowl

“This broccoli dish is super quick and so delicious,” says nutritionist Hannah Hope. “Broccoli is one of the ultimate superfoods for your hormones; I’d love to suggest you eat it twice a day. This cruciferous powerhouse, apart from being full of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, reduces inflammation and can help with blood sugar balance due to its fibre content. It also helps us to break down oestrogen, encouraging hormonal clearance and supporting hormonal balance.”
