I love having something healthy to tide me over if hunger strikes! The oats offer fiber to keep you satiated and boost your immune system. Along with the chia seeds and cashew butter, there are lots of good fats and proteins to balance blood sugar and your hormones.

Why don’t I use peanut butter? Well, peanuts aren’t nuts at all! They are beans, which are hard to digest. Also, peanuts are known to have mold lingering in them through the harvesting process. Don’t even get me started on the endocrine-disrupting factors of mold!!!

Adding adaptogens like maca, ashwagandha, and Shatavari will help boost your immune system, your mood, and your fertility.

And chocolate, well chocolate is always good! But adding magnesium to your diet helps with sleep, bone health, stress, and energy production as you head towards your luteal and menstruation phase.
