This is my take on the viral ‘snickers’ bar, it doesn’t actually taste anything like snickers but it IS delicious and made mostly from whole foods! You eat this straight from the freezer which means the bananas could very easily be mistaken for ice cream!

What’s more, aside from soothing that sweet craving in a healthier way, this snack might actually help relieve your period pain!  And don’t worry, this recipe isn’t just for people who experience periods, everyone can enjoy it and will reap some nutritional reward too! Here’s why >>>

Bananas are great source of Potassium, Magnesium. Tryptophan and Fiber.

Peanuts also contain high levels of Magnesium, Fiber and Vitamin B6which has been proved to help relieve period pain

Chia Seeds are rich in fatty acids like Omega 3 which are naturally anti-inflammatory and they help our digestion too.

And Dark Chocolate (minimum 70%) is a good source of Magnesium, Antioxidants and its also triggers an Endorphin release, so instantly picks up your mood!

Potassium, as well as aiding your sleep quality, it also helps to regulate fluid balance, muscle contractions and nerve signals. So when the bloating and cramps hit, grab a banana!

Magnesium helps to relax muscles, again why contributes to a good nights sleep but its also great for helping to ease cramping.

Fiber obviously aids our digestion, things can become a little dysregulated during your period so consuming foods that help your gut work properly is essential.

Tryptophan is an amino acid our bodies use to make Serotonin (happy hormone) and Melatonin (Sleep Hormone). So when you’re feeling a little off, consider what you’re giving your body to work with.
