Happy hormones bliss bites
Soft, caramel-sweet bites made with dates, almond meal, coconut, flaxseed and cacao, with a little maca for depth. There is no oven and no refined sugar. They are a good answer to afternoon sugar cravings, whether you are managing endometriosis, PCOS (PMOS) or a difficult luteal phase.
Why this supports your hormones
Ground flaxseed provides fibre and lignans, which support healthy oestrogen clearance through the gut. Almonds and almond butter add magnesium and healthy fats. Dates sweeten without refined sugar, and the fibre and fat slow the sugar release, so this is a steadier option than a biscuit when cravings hit. Maca is traditionally used to support energy and cycle health.
