This simple Seed Cycling Energy Bites recipe is a delicious way to eat the daily serving of seeds recommended to help naturally balance women’s hormones.
Today’s post goes out to all of you beautiful women out there. ♡
Have many of you tried seed cycling yet? I first started hearing the buzz about this naturopathic practice a little over a year ago. And as someone who already loves to snack on various kinds of seeds, I was officially intrigued and wanted to learn more.
Basically, seed cycling is the practice of eating different kinds of seeds during the two phases of your menstrual cycle, in order to more naturally balance your hormones. During the first half of your cycle (the follicular phase, approximately days 1-14), it’s recommended that women eat 1 tablespoon each of flax and pumpkin seeds per day. Then during the second half of your cycle (the luteal phase, approximately days 15-28), it’s recommended to eat 1 tablespoon each of sunflower and sesame seeds per day. It’s said that these specific seed cycling mixes can naturally help to balance estrogen and progesterone in the body, and many women believe the practice can help with everything from regulating periods to reducing acne and cramps and fatigue, easing symptoms of menopause, helping with infertility, and much more.
Of course, I am totally not a doctor and am not here today to give medical advice. (I will also be the first to note that the research behind seed cycling is incredibly new, and doctors currently have conflicting thoughts about whether or not the practice is effective.) But as various friend circles of mine have been talking and reading more these past few years about how to better care for our hormones, we’ve all been intrigued by how many women have loved this practice and how many symptoms they believe it has helped.
So since seed cycling is so simple — and I’m always looking for ways to add healthy seeds and protein to my diet anyway — I figured I would give it a try myself this year and see how it goes. Initially I just started by sprinkling the seeds into my smoothie or on top of yogurt or granola. But over time, I’ve found that my favorite option (by far) is to roll the seeds into these tasty little energy bites. It’s easy to just prep a batch at the beginning of the month, then you can just pop the energy bites as an easy breakfast or snack each day. They’re naturally gluten-free, full of feel-good ingredients, and best of all, delicious.
So for any of you who have also been intrigued by all of the talk about seed cycling lately and would like to give it a try — or hey, if you’re just interested in a new super-seedy energy bites recipe to add some extra protein to your life (my husband loves to eat these too!) — here are the two variations of the seed cycling energy bites recipe that I have been loving lately.
