Daisy Lowe’s Time of the Month Cupcakes

daisy lowe

We’ve all been there – two days before we’re due, rummaging through the cupboards looking for the last couple of Quality Street that nobody wanted at Christmas, desperate for something sweet. ANYTHING sweet!

Well now British model and fashionista Daisy Lowe has created a Banana-Chocolate cupcake recipe, that not only gives you that all important sweet hit, but also claims to help reduce common symptoms regularly experienced by women all over the country at that ‘time-of-the-month’ (TOTM).

Daisy explains how they work

The cupcake recipe contains several magic ingredients including coconut sugar, vegan butter and even some CBD oil in the icing. The sweetness of the cupcake’s panders to that time-of-the-month urge that most women suffer, whilst the AddCBD Food Enhancer I use helps with the physical cramps, anxiety and sleeplessness that can often occur around that time. I find it (cannabidiol) super soothing and calming, especially when my emotions can be all over the place!

Her glorious Banana-Chocolate cupcake recipe is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans, with Daisy consciously choosing ingredients that can be enjoyed by all.

I tried to make this recipe suitable for everyone, whether they are vegan, on a strict diet, sugar-free or so on. Turns out that vegan butter for the buttercream icing was just as good as the real thing! As for the AddCBD Food Enhancer, I really hope people can stay open-minded about that element and understand it is not marijuana – and it certainly does not get you high! I’ve been an advocate of cannabidiol for years.
