Licorice, cravings and menstrual cycle
Our licorice balls contain high quality fats from nuts, seeds, cocoa and coconut oil + cocoa for magnesium which can prevent and reduce possible PMS and cramping before or during menstruation. Did you know that licorice powder (licorice root) is said to have a diuretic effect, which can be beneficial if you accumulate fluid in phase 3 (ie the phase before your period)? They are also boosted with collagen, which has many health benefits when it comes to gut, skin and hair. How good? The most important thing is that they are SO good and are an ultimate option for any cravings that may occur before your period!
Recipe for chocolate and licorice balls
1 dl walnuts
1 dl pumpkin seeds
1 dl almonds
3 tablespoons of cocoa
4 teaspoons licorice powder
0.5 tsp iodized salt
6-8 fresh pitted dates
1 tablespoon almond butter
1 tablespoon neutral coconut oil
Topping
Dust with licorice powder
Sprinkle with flake salt
Options for extra boost:
1 tsp maca powder
1 tablespoon of collagen
1 tsp chia seeds
Do this:
Mix walnuts, pumpkin seeds and almonds into a fine flour in a food processor. Core the dates and mix together with the rest of the ingredients until you have a smooth batter. The batter should be glossy and smooth, which makes it a perfect consistency when frozen. Roll the dough into balls or flatten the dough into small cakes, dip in licorice powder and sprinkle with flake salt. Store in the freezer for a few hours before eating them - done.
They are wonderful and a good to-go-to option for any cravings before your period, win-win <3
