Seed Cycling Energy Bites

To be extra-accurate with the serving sizes, you are welcome to weigh the total ingredient amount of each recipe and divide by 28 to know how large to make each energy bite. (I found that the follicular bites needed to be approximately 47 grams each, and the luteal bites needed to be 57 grams each.) But as a rough estimate, you can just use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to measure out each bite. With this measure — which yields approximately 28 smaller bites — you would need to eat 2 per day in order to eat the recommended serving of seeds.

To be on the safe side in terms of food storage time, I recommend making a fresh batch of energy bites every two weeks — first, a batch for your follicular phase (days 1-14), and then, a batch for your luteal phase (days 15-28). Or you can also freeze these energy bites for up to 3 months (just be sure to thaw before eating, otherwise they will be rock solid).

See notes above for how to make energy bars or scoops instead, if you prefer not to roll the mixture into energy balls.

The prep time listed does not include the extra (optional) time recommended to chill the mixture, which simply makes it easier to roll into balls.

Again, I’m not a doctor, so this is not intended to be medical advice. (Please consult your doctor if that’s what you need.) Seed cycling is simply a practice that I have adopted and many others seem to love.
