Hi there, Easter is around the corner…🐰 Which means chocolate, chocolate and MORE CHOCOLATE! Now, without trying to kill your Easter Buzz (chocolate is life, let’s be honest) - the average sized easter egg is made with heavily processed ingredients & can contain up to 60 grams of sugar 🤯… And when it comes to our hormones unfortunately sugar causes blood sugar imbalances - the common culprit behind symptoms of PMS, acne breakouts and cramps. But never fear! You can have your chocolate & eat it too…🍫 WITHOUT messing with your hormones. And it starts with CACAO! How is cacao good for periods you ask?? 1. Cacao is one of the best food sources of magnesium available. Magnesium is the essential mineral for healthy periods - yet over 80% of people are deficient. 2. Cacao is rich in hormone boosting antioxidants! It has 14 x more antioxidants than red wine, 21 x more than green tea & 7 x more than dark chocolate. 3. Cacao is rich in zinc which promotes progesterone production, and iron which helps prevent anemia! All in all, it’s packed full of nutrients but without the sugar and PMS causing ingredients found in your average easter egg 🧆 I eat chocolate EVERYDAY. Completely guilt-free and with the intention of actually supporting my hormones! And you can too. I’m sharing with you my FAVOURITE chocolate recipe that is SO delicious even your friends & fam at Easter lunch will love them. This recipe is simple, requiring just 3 primary ingredients, 1 bowl, and less than 30 minutes to prepare! The star ingredient is Luna's Lover - which contains high quality, certified organic cacao plus reishi & ashwagandha so you get the adrenal soothing benefits as well to relieve any stress! |
