These bad boys taste will give your sweet tooth the hit it may need but are nutrient abundant and oh-so-healthy.

Flaxseeds are like a unicorn for women reproduction. Flaxseeds are great at helping regulate your cycle, anti-inflammatory (think less PMS and less pain during your menses), a little gut warrior to get your bowels moving, and wonderful at mopping up all the 'bad' (LDL) cholesterol. 

Coconut is a little superstar as it is the only vegetarian source of medium-chain-fatty acids found in nature. Its superpowers include being anti-microbial (think less bugs in your body), blood sugar regulator (helping with the long lasting sustained energy + helping mop up the LDL's), great for your gut, and also great for menstrual cramps.

Hemp seeds is our protein boosters containing up roughly 25%! Protein is great for women to help regulate hormones ( both sex and metabolism).

In if I haven't convinced you yet, all these wonderful ingredients are green for clearing our skin and providing a great source of fibres (yep prebiotics is part of that) to help regulate our gut microbiome.

So if you have: 

- PMS

You need to whip up a batch of these. You are welcome.
