Need a Treat That Works With Your Hormones?

You’re standing in the kitchen. It’s mid-afternoon. You're tired, you're hungry… and you're this close to grabbing something you’ll regret later.

Friend, I get it.

That’s exactly why I keep a stash of these Chocolate Power Bites in my fridge and freezer year-round. They’re a quick and easy no-bake treat made with clean, hormone-supporting ingredients that actually help your body instead of hijacking your goals.

Whether you need a snack on the go, something to crush that chocolate craving, or a sweet finish after dinner that won’t mess with your blood sugar—this recipe has you covered.

Why These Work for Midlife Women

These little bites aren’t just delicious—they’re strategic.
Let’s break it down:

• Protein powder keeps your metabolism humming and balances blood sugar.

• MCT oil gives your brain a boost and supports fat-burning.

• Baobab powder adds antioxidants and vitamin C for adrenal and immune support.

• Healthy fats from coconut oil and nut butter help keep hormones balanced and cravings in check.

• Lily’s chocolate chips? Because, hello—we still want chocolate.

And the best part? These are THM-S, easy to batch-prep, and perfect for hormone-friendly fat loss.
