These two cycle syncing seed macaroons are created to aid women's hormones throughout our monthly cycle.
We have four phases to our cycle which are the follicular, ovulation, luteal and menstrual. Throughout each phase, we have a substantial difference in how we go about caring for our bodies. We get to eat differently, exercise differently and work differently if we listen. My intention for creating new recipes are now based on which phase I am currently in and what my body is asking for.
