I woke up with a killer migraine today. Seeing as most things made me nauseous, i decided to go with plain sweet potato, greenbeens, and shrimp.
Condition | How it fits |
POTS | Neutral-to-supportive. After being in bed all day, this helps with energy if I’m intentional about salt or pair it with electrolytes. |
Lupus | Supportive. Simple protein and cooked vegetables feel safe when my body is already exhausted. |
Vestibular migraine | Supportive. This is one of my go-to meals when my head is sensitive and nausea is hovering. |
Shrimp, Japanese Sweet Potato, and Green Beans
Ingredients (1 bowl)
1 Japanese sweet potato
5–6 shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup green beans
Olive oil
Salt
Very mild seasoning only (optional)
How I make it
Bake the sweet potato
Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 40–45 minutes until soft.
Split and salt lightly.
Cook the shrimp
Sauté in olive oil with salt until just cooked.
No heavy spices.
Cook the green beans
Sauté or roast until fully tender.
Keep flavors simple.
Eat slowly
Sitting down. Lights low. No rushing.
Notes
Migraine day rule: bland is better than bold
More POTS-friendly: add salt, butter, or a salty drink
Very low energy: roast everything on one tray and rest while it cooks
