Nourishing Herbal Bliss Balls

These little balls are portable and ‘travel well’ and make a delicious snack for both young and old.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup nut or seed butter e.g. almond, cashew, sunflower seed
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ½ cup local raw honey
  • ¼ cup carob powder or cacao
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • ¼ cup oatmeal
  • ½ cup Astragalus powder online source
  • ½ cup Hawthorn berry powder online source

Instructions

  • Combine the nut butters, tahini and honey in a bowl.
  • Add the carob powder and cinnamon plus any nuts or other flavour additions.
  • Stir to combine thoroughly.
  • Add the remaining herbal powders.
  • Combine thoroughly.
  • Break apart small chunks of the ‘dough’ with your hands and make 1inch balls. This can be such a fun project with any ‘small fry’ in your home!
  • Set aside on a plate or baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
  • Put the coconut or cocoa (or your choice of ‘rolling’ material) onto a plate.
  • Roll the balls, gently and press lightly to allow the coconut to stick.
  • Place in the fridge immediately for 2-3 hours to ‘set up’.
  • Store in a container, with a good lid.
  • I tend to use a cookie tin, and separate the layers with parchment paper.

Notes

It's up to you. Leave the oatmeal in flakes or whiz it up processor or spice grinder quickly to make it into an oat powder. I tend to prefer it this way.
