Tahini Cacao Energy Balls
So yummy and perfect for the second phase of the menstrual cycle!
Gluten Free & Dairy Free. Includes Nuts. Minimal Ingredients
I’m a big fan of meal prepping energy balls as a way to save yourself time during the week when you need a quick pick me up snack in between meals!
I decided to create a recipe that includes hormone supportive ingredients for the second phase of the menstrual cycle – the luteal phase. This is usually where we feel more moody or low energy so this can be a way to support your cycle and help with PMS.
The recipe outline and ingredient list is below!
Tahini Cacao Energy Balls
(full recipe and grocery list below)
Ingredients
Gluten free quick cooking oats
Salted pistachios (blended)
Chia seeds
Tahini
Cacao powder
Pistachio milk or other nut milk
Honey
Vanilla isolate protein
Sea salt
Ceylon cinnamon
Instructions:
Add the following ingredients to a bowl:
1 cup gluten free rolled oats
1/3 cup ground pistachios
2 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp organic natural cacao powder
1/2 cup tahini
1/4 cup honey
1 scoop vanilla isolate protein
sprinkle of sea salt
lots of cinnamon
Mix together and add a little drizzle of nut milk, little by little to get to the right consistency and make it easier to form balls without it flaking it and falling apart. Be conservative and add a little dash at a time before grabbing mix to roll.
You can also add more tahini or even some honey if the balls aren’t getting to the right consistency.
Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes and enjoy!!
Keep the energy balls stored in refrigerator! I hope that you make this and enjoy this fiber-packed snack :)
With love,
