Our collagen brownie bites are all you need when cravings can kick into phase 3 (after ovulation and before menstruation). The ultimate brownie filled with healthy fats that stabilize your blood sugar instead of other options that easily send your hormones soaring, they also contain cocoa which is rich in magnesium and could reduce any sweet cravings that may arise in phase 3 . They are also boosted with collagen, which is rich in several amino acids that we often do not get through the food we eat, and maca powder, which is an adaptogen that may have the ability to affect our sex hormones in a positive way.
Collagen crunchy-brownie bites
This brownie has a perfect texture and a mix of frozen, chocolate, crunch, sweet and salty. Perfect to keep in the freezer during the summer and pick out when the craving sets in. We love them extra in phase three when we usually feel a craving for chocolate, something sweet and preferably fat - everything we need in a little ball <3

Reminder: During phase 3 it is not uncommon to experience many different symptoms linked to the menstrual cycle, just because it is common does not mean it is normal. The best way to balance hormones is to eat real food, baked goods/snacks are just a supplement that can make any cravings decrease and our soul to rejoice! To understand more about your menstrual cycle read here and here you can read about how you can benefit from the phases of the menstrual cycle.
