A simple, seasonal way to feel more energised, nourished and balanced.
Spring in the UK doesn’t always come in gently—it’s grey, cold, sometimes sunny and still demands a coat most mornings. But slowly, the days get longer, the air feels fresher, and my body naturally starts craving lighter, brighter food.
Not a diet. Not a detox. Just a shift.
After the Christmas period heavier meals and slower winter days, I want to feel a little more alive. And the easiest place to start? My plate.
I’m not about unrealistic wellness routines. I’m a busy mum with things to do, early mornings, and a full life. So these are the superfoods I reach for—not because they’re trendy, but because they actually make a difference in my energy, skin, mood, and general feeling of “okay, I’ve got this.”
My Morning Routine
I start my morning with hot lemon water while I’m getting my son and I dressed. If I’ve got time I’ll typically make a quick smoothie with berries, banana, spinach and water, or grab a slice of toast topped with peanut butter or avocado. And before diving into work, I take a quiet minute in the car after drop off to just breathe and reset. It’s nothing fancy, but it helps set the tone for a balanced day.
7 Spring Superfoods That Support Women’s Wellness
These are powerful but practical foods that help with hormone balance, skin health, mood, digestion, and overall energy—without asking you to do the most.
1. Leafy Greens (Spinach, Kale, Swiss Chard)
High in magnesium and iron—great for energy, stress support, and hormonal balance (especially around your cycle).
How I use them:
Toss into a smoothie, stir into pasta or soups, or saute with garlic and olive oil.
2. Asparagus
A natural detoxifier and digestive aid, perfect for refreshing your system post-winter.
How I use it:
Roast with olive oil and lemon. Done in 10 minutes and pairs with anything like steak or breast chicken.
3. Berries (Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries)
Packed with antioxidants and vitamin C for brighter skin, better immunity, and a little natural energy boost.
How I use them:
In smoothies, on toast, or straight from the bowl. Frozen works just as well.
4. Avocados
A source of healthy fats that support hormones, skin, brain health, and help feeling full and balanced.
How I use them:
I layer it on toast, sometimes with a poached egg in the morning, or paired with greens for a quick lunch.
5. Artichokes
Support liver function and digestion—especially helpful if you’re looking to reset from rich winter meals.
How I use them:
I use jarred artichoke hearts in wraps, or pasta. No fuss and full of flavours.
6. Citrus Fruits (Lemon, Grapefruit, Oranges)
High in vitamin C for immunity, collagen production, and digestion. Also refreshing and energising.
How I use them:
Warm lemon water in the morning or a citrus salad.
7. Pumpkin Seeds
Rich in zinc and magnesium. Key for mood, skin, and menstrual health.
How I use them:
Add to smoothies, or tossed into a grain bowl.
You don’t need a perfect routine or hours of free time to feel your best.
Just a few small, intentional choices that support your body where it’s at is good enough.
Whether you’re heading to work, doing school runs, or balancing a bit of everything, these spring superfoods can fit into your routine and make a difference in how you feel this spring.
