Chocolate, Sweet Potato and Coconut Sugar
Chocolate, especially dark chocolate is packed with nutrients. Dark chocolate contains fiber, iron and magnesium which are all helpful during your menstrual cycle.
Sweet potatoes are high in potassium which can help with cramps and bloating during your period. Sweet potatoes can also help provide sustained energy without a blood sugar spike.
This recipe is refined sugar free by using coconut sugar as the sweetner. Refined sugars can lead to a blood sugar spike and increase inflammation in the body.
