Choc Tahini Honey Slice – For Hormone & Gut Support

This Chocolate Tahini Slice is more than just a treat, it’s packed with ingredients that support both gut health and hormonal balance. The base includes Nourished Blends Gut Food, a clinically designed blend of organic wholefoods created to soothe the gut lining and support a healthy, diverse microbiome. It works by using the 4 P’s of gut health - prebiotics, polyphenols, proteolytic enzymes, and postbiotics which all play a key role in digestion, inflammation, and microbiome balance. In fact, a recent clinical study showed a 93.3% improvement in participants’ top digestive symptoms! And when your gut is supported, your hormones benefit too, because a thriving gut helps with hormone detoxification, nutrient absorption, and keeping inflammation in check.

I’ve paired it with a creamy tahini filling (rich in zinc, calcium, healthy fats, and hormone-friendly lignans), added raw honey (a natural prebiotic and blood sugar-friendly sweetener), and coated it in dark chocolate (a good source of magnesium and antioxidants to support your nervous system and stress levels, both key for hormone balance).
