Menopause doesn’t mean you have to give up treats — you just need smarter ones. These low-sugar dessert ideas don’t just satisfy your sweet tooth, they also help your body navigate the hormonal shifts of midlife.
We’re talking real-food ingredients, blood sugar balance, and ingredients that offer nutritional support during perimenopause and beyond.
1. Chia Pudding with Flax & Berries
Why it helps:
Chia seeds and ground flax are both rich in omega-3s and lignans — natural compounds that support hormonal balance and reduce inflammation. Add in berries for fiber, antioxidants, and a touch of natural sweetness.
How to make it:
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp ground flaxseed
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- A few mashed raspberries or blueberries
Mix, let sit for 2–3 hours (or overnight), and top with extra berries before serving.
2. Magnesium-Rich Chocolate Avocado Mousse
Why it helps:
Avocados and cacao powder are both high in magnesium, a mineral often depleted during menopause that helps with sleep, anxiety, and muscle relaxation.
How to make it:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup or monk fruit (adjust to taste)
- A pinch of sea salt
Blend until creamy. Chill before serving.
3. Frozen Banana Bites with Almond Butter & Dark Chocolate
Why it helps:
Bananas offer vitamin B6 and fiber, while almond butter gives healthy fats and phytoestrogens — plant compounds that mimic natural estrogen in gentle ways.
How to make it:
Slice bananas, add a layer of almond butter, top with another slice to make a sandwich. Freeze, then dip one side in melted dark chocolate (80%+ cocoa). Re-freeze and enjoy.
4. Yogurt & Berry Parfaits with Super Greens
Why it helps:
LiveGood’s Organic Super Greens support digestion, energy, and inflammation — all key for menopausal wellbeing. Greek yogurt adds protein and calcium.
How to make it:
- ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop LiveGood Super Greens (or ½ scoop for milder taste)
- Handful of blueberries or sliced strawberries
- Sprinkle of chia seeds or crushed walnuts
Layer into a small glass for an easy, cooling treat.
5. Coconut Berry Ice Pops
Why it helps:
Hydrating, dairy-free, and rich in electrolytes, these are ideal for hot flashes or general summer refreshment.
How to make it:
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 cup mixed berries
- 1–2 tsp monk fruit or honey
- Optional: 1 tbsp LiveGood Hydration Amplifier for extra minerals
Blend, pour into popsicle molds, and freeze overnight.
