Follicular phase coconut-ashwagandha fudge
Ashwagandha is a great adaptogen that helps your body adapt to stress. It also boosts fertility, memory function, and energy, which is great for the very active high-energy follicular phase. Cinnamon is great for circulation and warming of the system. The fudge is satisfying, and decadent, and doesn’t have any refined sugar.
