Delicious Chocolate Tahini
Bliss Bites
A Nourishing Treat For the First Days of Your Cycle
The first days of your cycle call for slowing down, replenishing, and nurturing your body as it renews itself.
This is a time when iron stores may dip, energy can feel tender, and cravings often call for something chocolatey, grounding, and deeply satisfying.
These Chocolate Tahini Bliss Bites are rich in magnesium, iron, and healthy fats - nutrients your body leans on during menstruation.
They’re also seed-cycling friendly, bringing in flax seeds and pumpkin seeds to support the follicular phase.
Think of them as tiny bites of hormone harmony, a treat that feels indulgent yet purposeful.
And of course feel free to add your own twist, perhaps some dark chocolate coconut or edible flowers, to suit your taste buds.
