Because “Whatever’s in the Fridge” doesn’t work when you're in the healing phase!
My way of eating now is about maintenance. Keeping my histamine bucket from overflowing while feeding my body what it needs to stay balanced, calm, and grounded.
Here’s what was on my plate this morning — easy, nourishing, and naturally low in histamine.
🌿 Green Juice
Ingredients
A big handful of fresh parsley (soaked in bicarbonate of soda for 10 minutes to remove pesticide residue)
A serious hit of fresh peeled ginger — I go LARGE
Coconut water
Method: Blend everything together and sip it fresh.Parsley supports liver detox and acts as a gentle antihistamine. Ginger — in this quantity — is a natural anti-inflammatory powerhouse that fires up circulation, digestion, and lymph flow. Coconut water rehydrates and replaces electrolytes after sleep.
This isn’t a juice that tiptoes — it wakes you up from the inside out.
Chicken & Rice Cakes with Herby Drizzle
Ingredients
Frozen chicken breast
Sea salt, peppercorns, and heaps of dried basil (a natural anti-histamine)
1 clove fresh garlic, grated and left to sit for 10 minutes (to activate allicin — nature’s penicillin)
Olive oil
Ghee
2 plain rice cakes
My Herby Sauce (available on my Recipes page)
Method
Poach frozen chicken for 11 minutes in salted water with peppercorns and basil. Then drain.
Tip: The quicker the cooking method, the lower the histamine load — and poaching keeps the meat tender and juicy. I chop up my chicken before freezing so it's super quick to cook.
Mix the resting garlic with olive oil, then pour it over the cooked chicken. (Allicin helps fend off unwanted bugs — and maybe your lover or friend too!)
Spread ghee on rice cakes, pile the chicken high, and finish with a drizzle of my herby sauce for a burst of freshness.
🫐 Warm Blueberries with Functional Toppings
Ingredients
Frozen blueberries (warmed gently on the stove)
MCT powder
Collagen powder
Colostrum
Maca powder
Baobab powder
Why these work
Blueberries: Antioxidant-rich and soothing for inflammation.
MCT powder: Stable brain and blood sugar fuel.
Collagen: Strengthens gut lining, skin, and joints.
Colostrum: Balances immunity and supports repair.
Maca: Nourishes adrenals and hormones — especially helpful for perimenopause.
Baobab: High in vitamin C, which aids histamine breakdown and collagen synthesis.
