Healthy, balanced snacks: Menstrual phase Chocolate dipped figs

Figs (dried actually have a higher iron content) and dark chocolate are great to support the body during the menstrual phase as they provide key nutrients that support hormonal balance, energy levels, and mood. Such as:

Figs
Rich in plant-based iron, magnesium and fibre.

Dark Chocolate (at least 70%)
High in magnesium, iron, and flavonoids, and supports mood.

Nuts
Antioxidants and hormone supportive fats.

Magnesium supports cramps, relaxes muscles, and reduces PMS symptoms. Iron supports red blood cell production and prevents fatigue. Healthy fats are the building blocks for hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone. Antioxidants help to lower inflammation in the body, supporting symptom reduction such as headaches and cramps.

Simply dip the figs into melted dark chocolate and dip again into your favourite nutrient-dense toppings…
I love bee pollen - nature’s multivitamin - and whatever nuts I have, I've gone for chopped hazelnuts and Brazil nuts. You can also do mixed ground seeds, desiccated coconut or a different selection of chopped nuts.
