texture and taste

these donut holes have a soft and chewy texture, thanks to the medjool dates and almond butter.

the flax meal and pumpkin seeds add a slight crunch, making each bite satisfying.

the natural sweetness from the dates, combined with the nutty flavor of almond butter and a hint of vanilla, creates a deliciously balanced treat.

the optional glaze, whether it’s made with coconut butter or lakanto powdered sugar, adds an extra layer of sweetness and a slight crispness once frozen.

what is seed cycling?

seed cycling is a practice that involves eating specific seeds during different phases of your menstrual cycle to support hormonal balance.

the idea is that certain seeds can help promote estrogen production in the first half of your cycle and progesterone production in the second half.

for the first half of the cycle (follicular phase), flax seeds and pumpkin seeds are consumed.

these seeds are rich in lignans and zinc, which are believed to support estrogen production and metabolism.

incorporating these seeds into your diet can be easy and delicious with these donut holes.
