Post-Trip Reset Bowl

An Anti-Inflammatory, Hormone-Balancing Recovery Meal

After long-haul flights, dehydration, sodium-heavy airport meals, and disrupted sleep, your body needs three things:
hydration, minerals, and steady blood sugar.

This bowl is designed to:
✔ Replenish electrolytes
✔ Reduce inflammation
✔ Support digestion
✔ Balance cortisol
✔ Keep you full without feeling heavy

The Reset Formula

1️⃣ Base (Fiber + Minerals)

• 1 cup cooked quinoa (or warm brown rice)
• Handful baby spinach or arugula
• ¼ avocado, sliced

Why: Magnesium + potassium + fiber = reduces bloat and stabilizes blood sugar.

2️⃣ Protein (Cortisol Control)

• 4–5 oz grilled salmon
  or
• Lemon herb chicken
  or
• Crispy tofu (for plant-based)

Why: Protein supports adrenal recovery and prevents post-trip crashes.

3️⃣ Anti-Inflammatory Boost

• Roasted sweet potatoes (½ cup)
• Cucumber slices
• Shredded carrots
• Fresh parsley or cilantro

Why: Beta carotene + hydration + liver-supporting herbs.

4️⃣ Recovery Dressing (The Magic)

Whisk together:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Juice of ½ lemon
• ½ tsp grated ginger
• Pinch sea salt
• Dash turmeric + black pepper

Drizzle generously.

Optional Add-Ons

• Sprinkle pumpkin seeds (zinc for immunity)
• Fermented veggies (gut reset)
• Soft boiled egg for extra protein
• Microgreens for presentation
