These bliss balls come together quickly in about 10 minutes and are a supportive snack option for women’s hormonal balance, especially in the late luteal phase when fatigue, sweet cravings, and mood swings can ramp up. Almond butter, tahini, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds provide healthy fats and minerals like magnesium and calcium, which can help reduce period pain. Cocoa powder adds rich flavor and pure maple syrup adds just enough sweetness to satisfy cravings without feeling a blood sugar crash afterwards.
