If you’re scratching your head and wondering what all this seed cycling gobbledegook is all about, we got you. We’ve been talking a little bit in this space about how our stressful lives and crazy schedules can throw our hormonal balance out of whack. Thinning hair, acne breakouts, fatigue, mad mood swings; everything can be traced back to a hormonal imbalance. If you’re a woman and especially if you are peri-menopausal, suffer from PMS or PCOS you may want to read this article about how to balance your hormones naturally.
Taking it one step further we also wrote about seed cycling, a naturopathic remedy that leverages the healing power of food. And has a whole host of health benefits from balancing hormones, treating PCOS and menopausal symptoms, as well as improving acne and hair health just to name a few. You can read everything you need to know about seed cycling right here.
Without further ado then let’s dive into that delicious, hormone balancing seed cycling ladoo recipe we were talking about.
Seed Cycling Ladoos
Ingredients for seed cycling ladoos
- 2 cups seedless dates
- 1 cup chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 heaped tablespoons of coconut flakes, lightly toasted
- 1 cup follicular mix (pumpkin and flax seeds powder) or luteal mix (sesame and sunflower seeds powder)
- A large pinch of salt
- Optional: if you’re a chocoholic like some of us 😀 you can also add in one large heaped tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
- Other optional add-ons (we’re ALL about being extra!): a pinch of cinnamon powder, 1 small teaspoon pure vanilla extract
And now to prep those delish seed cycling ladoos
Simply blitz all the ingredients together in a food processor or blender. You will get a sticky dough. If your dough is not coming together easily you can add a little water or organic, cold-pressed coconut oil. Add one small teaspoon at a time till you get the consistency you want. This is just an additional tip though, in case you need it. We’ve made these ladoos gazillions of times and have never needed to add extra water or oil, but it could happen if your dates are too dry. Use an oiled cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Roll into small, or large, ladoos, whatever you prefer. And that’s it! Your seed cycling ladoos are ready!
These ladoos are an absolutely brilliant snack for between meals, on the go, a healthy breakfast or even a guilt and sugar-free post dinner treat. They’re a great snack for kids too, if you have a little picky eater on your hands. Or even if you are wondering how to get the kiddos to eat their daily dose of nuts and seeds. They’re a great addition to your and your significant other’s office dabba also. (Did you know that men can experience hormone imbalance too?)
