This hormone healthy alternative to sugary candy bars and processed snacks is packed full of nutrients. Dates are a good source of fiber and iron, and hemp seeds are a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, both of which are particularly important for women in menopause to support hormone health. Also known as pepitas, pumpkin seeds are a powerhouse food high in zinc and magnesium to support healthy cholesterol (which may help reduce hot flashes and more!). Flaxseeds provide fiber and lignans, which are plant compounds that have been shown to have estrogenic effects. Even the cinnamon is a good source of antioxidants and has been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Ingredients
Preparation
If your dates are not already soft, soak them ahead of time for at least a few hours (until you can easily press and compact them with your fingers).
Melt the coconut oil and blend with the soft dates, ground flaxseeds, water, and almond extract. This will form a smooth puree.
Mix all ingredients together with the blended puree from step 1. Combine thoroughly with a spoon. Use your hands as needed.
Line a small loaf tin with parchment paper, and press the mixture firmly into it. Bake at 400F for approximately 20 minutes (or until slightly browned on top).
Allow to cool. Slice with a sharp heavy knife and enjoy!
Once cooled, drizzle melted chocolate over the top and let it quickly set.
