I had to share this recipe with you right now – Seed Cycling Protein Chia Tiramisu Pudding! This delightful treat not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also supports hormone balance and overall wellness by incorporating nutrient-dense seeds into your diet.
Why Seed Cycling?
Seed cycling involves consuming specific seeds during different phases of your menstrual cycle to help balance hormones naturally. This practice is beneficial for hormone regulation, improving menstrual cycle regularity, and supporting overall wellness. Here’s how it breaks down in terms of protein and nutrients:
Protein Breakdown:
- Seed Cycling + Protein: 12.5g
- Yogurt: 10-15g
- Chia Seeds: 6g
- Almond Milk: 1-3g
Phase 1 Seed Cycling Nutrients:
