Seed Cycling Nut Butter Balls

I adapted this recipe from Minimalist Baker (minimalistbaker.com). Feel free to play around with the recipe based off what you've got in your kitchen.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup nut butter or seed butter Use pumpkin seed butter for follicular phase, and sunflower seed butter or tahini for luteal phase. Can also use almond or another nut butter.
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 8 tbsp ground flaxseed (follicular phase) Use sunflower seeds for luteal phase.
  • 6 tbsp hemp seeds (follicular phase) Use sesame seeds for luteal phase.
  • 3 tbsp protein powder You can also use herbal powders, like Maca or Ashwagandha.
  • extra hemp seeds for topping optional

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients (except extra hemp seeds) to a food processor. Blend well until the ingredients are mixed into a dough on the drier side. If the dough is too dry, add more nut butter, honey, or a small amount of oil. If too wet, add more dry ingredients (protein powder).
  • Roll the mixture into 1 tbsp balls and then roll the balls in hemp seeds.
  • Put balls in the fridge to harden up.
  • Eat 2-3 balls each day to help balance your hormones!
