Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

To make Follicular Seed Cycling Mix: add whole flax seeds and raw pumpkin seeds to a small blender or food processor and pulse into a fine meal (see photo). Then add to a large mixing bowl with remaining ingredients (chia seeds, desiccated coconut, hemp seeds, and cacao nibs (optional)) and stir to combine. Transfer to a large jar, label, and store in the refrigerator up to 1 month, or in the freezer for 1 month or longer (seeds will stay fresher longer in freezer).
To make Luteal Seed Cycling Mix: add whole sunflower seeds and sesame seeds to a small blender or food processor and pulse into a fine meal (see photo). Then add to a large mixing bowl with remaining ingredients (chia seeds, desiccated coconut, hemp seeds, and cacao nibs (optional)), and stir to combine. Transfer to a large jar, label, and store in the refrigerator up to 1 month, or in the freezer for 1 month or longer (seeds will stay fresher longer in freezer).
These cycling mixes are best made fresh. I prefer making my Follicular Cycling Mix on Day 1 of menstruation and my Luteal Cycling Mix the day after ovulation (usually day 14).
