Peanut Butter PMS Cookies

Need something healthy to satisfy your cravings during PMS? Look no further, these cookies are a good source of protein, iron and magnesium to not only satisfy your cravings but support healthy hormone balance as well.



Peanut Butter PMS Cookies

1 cup almond meal
1/2 cup peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
a pinch of sea salt, if the peanut butter is unsalted
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (I like the Enjoy Life brand because they are dairy and soy free)
2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds and 2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar

In a large bowl mix the almond meal, peanut butter, sea salt and maple syrup. Stir well to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips. At this point. The dose should be a somewhat sticky cohesive ball.

In a shallow bowl combine the flaxseeds in coconut palm sugar.

Role about a tablespoon of dough in your hands to form a golf ball-size ball. Role the cookie dough in the flaxseed mixture and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. This recipe should make 14-16 cookies.

Before baking, press each cookie with a fork to flatten it.

Bake at 350° for 10 minutes.

The cookies will be soft when you take them out of the oven, let them cool completely before enjoying.

Fixing your Hormone Problems with Fiber

Most of us think of dietary fiber as a way to maintain regular bowel movements and may have heard about fiber’s possible role in preventing colon cancer but did you know you can balance your hormones using fiber? Fiber helps to regulate levels of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone in multiple ways involving your digestive tract, liver, ovaries and blood circulation. Multiple symptoms and medical conditions are the result of hormone imbalances: PMS symptoms such as breast tenderness, mood changes, headaches and bloating are worse if you don’t have enough progesterone to offset estrogen. Acne and unwanted facial hair can be caused by too much testosterone in your system.
