6 Foods to Eat Daily for Energy & Hormone Balance

When you’re juggling motherhood, work, and life, eating well can feel like just another thing on the never-ending to-do list. But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By focusing on just a few key foods each day, you can support your energy, hormones, digestion, and confidence — without overcomplicating things.

6 Nutrient-Rich Foods Worth Adding

to your Daily Plate

1. Eggs

Eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense foods available — loaded with protein, healthy fats, B vitamins and choline (essential during pregnancy and postpartum). They’re easy, affordable and help keep you full.
How to enjoy them: Boiled for snacks, scrambled with veggies, or added to salads, fried with rice and/grains or mixed with cinnamon to create french toast.

2. Vegetables (Aim for 2-3 Types per Day)

Colourful vegetables provide fibre, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that help with digestion, hormone balance, immunity and skin health. They also support healthy metabolism and appetite regulation.
How to include them: Add grated carrot or zucchini to pasta sauces, baking and porridge, snack on edamame, pickles or roast veg on crackers with hummus and add frozen spinach to your smoothie.

3. High Protein Greek Yoghurt

A great source of protein, calcium, and probiotics, Greek yoghurt helps with gut health, muscle recovery, bone strength and sugar cravings.
How to enjoy it: As a snack with fruit and seeds, in smoothies, or as a base for sauces and dips.

4. Leafy Greens

Think spinach, kale, rocket, or silverbeet. These are rich in folate, magnesium, iron and antioxidants — all essential for hormone production, energy and reducing inflammation.
How to include them: Blend into smoothies, mix into eggs, or serve as a base salad with dinner.

5. Berries

Packed with antioxidants and fibre, berries help support skin, heart and brain health while also keeping your immune system strong. They’re also naturally sweet — perfect for reducing sugar cravings.
How to enjoy them: Add to yoghurt, porridge or overnight oats, blend into smoothies, or eat as a snack with some dark chocolate.

6. Nuts & Seeds

A small handful of almonds, chia, walnuts, pumpkin or flaxseeds gives you healthy fats, zinc, magnesium and protein — ideal for hormone health, glowing skin and balanced energy.
How to include them: Sprinkle on oats or yoghurt, blend into smoothies, or bake into snacks.

Quick Tip:

Instead of counting calories, try counting colours. Choose 3–4 of these foods across your meals and snacks each day — your body, mood and energy levels will thank you.
