Anybody need an easy but nourishing afternoon snack? How about some Raspberry Hemp Nut Butter Bread?! Yummm!
❤️
This organic, sprouted, gluten free, and vegan bread from @cocobakes is topped with 5 intentional choices full of nutrition to help satisfy my munchies and help my body have what it needs leading into my period and to support my immune system healing the cancer.
HEMP SEEDS are loaded with magnesium which I intentionally load up on the week before my period. Magnesium helps relax muscles, which means it helps calm the uterine wall relieving & fend off cramps!
SHREDDED COCONUT has Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) fat which quickly gets turned into energy. So adding coconut to a snack helps make for a quicker pick-me-up. Coconut is also high in fiber which helps slow glucose metabolism making for better blood sugar control.
RASPBERRIES, that I crushed in a ramekin with a spoon, are full of cancer fighting antioxidants. Studies show raspberries can inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells as well as the mutation of genes.
ALMOND BUTTER contributes to good gut health. Along with it’s beneficial protein and polyunsaturated fats, almond butter has fiber & probiotics that feed the good gut bacteria which impacts our immune system!
CEYLON CINNAMON is a medicinal herb that helps reduce cellular inflammation, has blood sugar lowering properties, inhibits angiogenesis (growth of blood vessels needed for cancer cells), and induces apoptosis (cancer cell death).

Those are some of my favorite toppings that pack a nourishing punch! I hope this quick explanation inspires you to choose snacks more intentionally next time you need a mid-afternoon pick-me-up!
