Sheree Hannah Wellness x Feeding Lara Collab
One of the biggest issues I see when it comes to healing the gut, balancing hormones and supporting metabolic function is actually a lack of protein intake, especially by women
Most of our snacks are geared towards higher carbohydrates or higher fats, which is typical in convenience type foods, but also in grabbing a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit.
This isn’t to say that those choices are wrong, but did you know that for a food to be considered ‘high protein’ it only needs to hit 5g of protein per serve. That really isn’t much - in fact, rice can be considered a high protein food if you were to measure in this way.
But it’s not, it’s predominantly a carbohydrate. As a nutritionist, I see the confusion this causes all the time, and to be honest it can get super frustrating - not just for me, but clients as well because they think they’re doing the right thing.
A HIGH PROTEIN SNACK TO SUPPORT HOLISTIC WELLNESS
That’s why I am obsessed with this slice, not only is it packed with delicious whole food ingredients (hello cacao), but we have ensured each slice contains about 12g of protein - if not more - so that your ‘high protein snack’ is in fact a high protein snack.
The @mitchells.nz protein powder is collagen based which supports hormone health, skin health and gut healing. The maca root powder is helpful for hormones, libido and energy levels and the tahini is high in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and has minerals like magnesium to support our nervous system and brain health, much like cacao.
It also ticks a lot of boxes for those of you struggling to find something that is nourishing but won’t flare up your symptoms - this recipe is gluten free, dairy free, paleo, sugar free and keto friendly!

Happy Hormones Coffee Recipe
HAPPY HORMONES COFFEE RECIPE
27 / MARCH / 2023
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Make my morning coffee with me... one that doesn't give you the jitters, supports you hormones, energy and increases focus, grounding you into your day.
PSA: if you're starting your day with a cup of coffee, you're going to be messing up your hormones
Our bodies are designed to be in sync with our natural circadian rhythm, and having a coffee first thing upon waking, or even before breakfast can really leave your system out of sorts
As a holistic nutritionist I not only advocate for my clients to have a cup of coffee after 90 minutes of waking to support their hormones, but adding in some extra ingredients to really support their energy and focus (+ reduce the anxiety that can come with it).
CHECK OUT MY GO-TO MORNING CUPPA RECIPE HERE:
- 1 x espresso shot (I love @rudecoffee nootropic coffee for added benefits of l-theanine + MCT oil)
- 1 x serve of @mitchells.nz Bone Broth Protein Powder
- 1 dash of organic cream (or butter/MCT oil)
Optional extras:
- 1 tsp. @seleno.health cacao powder (use ‘SHEREE10’ for 10% off)
- 1 tsp. @seleno.health maca powder (use ‘SHEREE10’ for 10% off)
Just mix it all together with a frother and add hot water!
The protein powder combined with the healthy fats (cream/butter/MCT oil) allows for a slower release of the cortisol spike that comes with coffee, which increases our mental clarity, energy and focus. I also love the cacao (for magnesium + chocolatey taste) and maca for its energising and hormone supporting effects.
Will you give it a try?
