This is one of our team’s favorite dessert recipes from the Estrogen Reset program, so much so that I want it to be available to the entire Hormones Balance community.
These healthy hemp halvah bites are quick and easy to come together. Plus, they are packed with vitamin E and can support progesterone production. They’re also full of healthy fats, pure sweetness from raw honey, and blood sugar stabilizing cinnamon . . . this is a dessert that will treat you well.

Hemp hearts (purportedly) contain no THC (The thing that gets ya high.)
CBD and products are produced by the same people marketing the drug. I avoid both products like the plague that they are.
Hemp hearts are another story: a very healthful and nutritious seed. The nutrition label is astounding.
