If you’re looking for a hormone-loving breakfast that looks cute and packs a functional punch—this Matcha Seed Cycling Smoothie Bowl is your new bestie. It’s creamy, energizing, and customizable depending on your phase. Whether you’re follicular and full of buzz or deep in your luteal feels, this bowl can be tailored with the right seeds to help bring your hormones back into balance.
This one’s for the girls who want to glow from the inside out—and still get their matcha fix.
Why this smoothie bowl is perfect for seed cycling
Seed cycling is a gentle way to support your hormones throughout your menstrual cycle using the power of food. Each phase of your cycle (follicular, ovulation, luteal, menstrual) requires different nutrients to thrive—and specific seeds can help nudge your estrogen and progesterone into alignment.
This smoothie bowl is designed to be your hormone-support ritual. Just swap the seeds depending on the phase you're in, and you’ve got yourself a powerhouse breakfast that’s doing more than just looking pretty on your feed.

Star Ingredients & Hormone Benefits
Matcha – This green powder isn't just an aesthetic queen. Matcha provides a calm, focused energy without the jitters of coffee. It's rich in L-theanine and antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and support liver detox—essential for estrogen metabolism.
Flaxseeds & Pumpkin Seeds (Follicular Phase) – Help support estrogen production and clear excess estrogen naturally.
Sesame Seeds & Sunflower Seeds (Luteal Phase) – Rich in zinc and selenium to support progesterone and immune balance.
Banana & Avocado – Provide healthy carbs and fats to keep blood sugar stable and energy sustained.
Spinach – Sneaky greens for magnesium, folate, and iron.
Coconut Milk or Cow’s Milk – Offers creamy texture and healthy fats to support hormone production.

Pro Tips for Hormone Harmony:
Always grind your flax and sesame seeds fresh to boost absorption. Whole seeds tend to pass through undigested.
Keep it cold—blend with ice or frozen fruit to preserve matcha’s delicate nutrients.
Need a protein boost? Add a scoop of collagen or your favorite clean protein powder (we love pea protein for follicular and collagen for luteal).
