Seed Cycle Filled Dates for Your Inner Autumn
Are you looking to start Seed Cycling or need a recipe to incorporate daily seeds into your routine? This magical recipe is here to help. Aligning your diet with your menstrual cycle is a fantastic way to support both your cycle and overall well-being. During your inner autumn/luteal phase, the second half of your cycle, it’s especially important to provide your body with the nutrients it needs to support progesterone production and manage any PMS symptoms.
I've created a delicious and nutrient-packed snack that’s perfect for your inner autumn—stuffed dates with a creamy filling of sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, nut butter, and quinoa puffs, all covered in melted dark chocolate with a sprinkle of sea salt.
