"Made a homemade Nutella using nut butter cocoa powder & hazelnut flavored stevia drops. Put that on a rice cake and added some yogurt and banana ontop. Sooo yummy! Im trying to lean into the cocoa cravings since thats a good thing to have in the Luteal phase of my cycle. And the yogurt upped the protein perfectly."
"Your homemade Nutella creation sounds absolutely delicious Brittany! Brilliant idea! Using nut butter cocoa powder and hazelnut-flavored stevia drops keeps it healthy and tasty. Its perfect for the Luteal phase since cocoa is rich in magnesium which helps with mood and cravings. Adding yogurt and banana to your rice cake with Nutella ups the protein and makes it a balanced satisfying snack. Great job tuning into what your body needs and making nutritious choices. Keep experimenting and enjoying your healthy snacks!"
