Full of healthy fats, fiber, and hormone positive foods to help keep you satiated, these “hormone balls” are easy to make and also great for regulating your blood sugar.

NO: added sugar, gluten, dairy, soy, egg
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup ground flax seed
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cacao nibs
- 1 cup gluten free oats
- 1 cup almonds (or other nut of choice – mixed is fine too!)
- 8 medium Medjooli dates (pit removed) + water (start with 1 tbsp, add as needed)
- Optional: 1/2 cup shredded coconut
Directions:
- Combine the flaxseed, chia seed, cacao nibs, and oats in a big mixing bowl.
- Grind nuts in a food processor (about the size of ground peanuts, or slightly bigger if you like the crunch). Transfer into above mixing bowl.
- Use the food processor to blend the Medjooli dates + 1 tbsp of water until a paste develops. If needed, add small amounts of water if it is getting to dry and not blending well. Transfer into above mixing bowl.
- Mix all ingredients together (have some fun and use your hands!)
- Use a tablespoon to scoop out portions to roll into little balls (this can get messy)
- Enjoy!
NOTE: Keep in freezer/fridge for longer consumption time. Can stay at room temperature otherwise!
PRO-TIP: Store these at your desk at work to prevent that mid-morning/afternoon energy crash or hunger pang.
