Hormone Balancing Bliss Bites

These protein-rich snack bites help balance blood sugar + prevent cravings while adding in key hormone balancing nutrients such as zinc, iron, magnesium + potassium.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Almond Flour (or meal)

  • 1/4 cup Vanilla Protein Powder

  • 1/4 cup Pumpkin Seeds

  • 2 Tbsp. Cacao Nibs

  • 2 Tsp. Cinnamon

  • 1/2 cup Tahini

  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup

  • 1/2 cup Dried Fig (Avoid sulfites and sugars)

  • Water (optional; if needed)

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine dry ingredients and spices.

  2. Add in the tahini and maple syrup until a thick dough forms. If it is too thick to work with, add the water. Add figs and mix through slowly.

  3. Use a tablespoon to scoop out dough and roll into balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter.

  4. Chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes:

  • Serve chilled. One serving is equal to one ball.

  • Nut-free? Use ground oats or sunflower seeds instead of almond flour.

  • Sesame-free? Substitute almond or sunbutter instead of the tahini.
