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.

  • extra hemp seeds for topping optional

Method
 

  1. 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).
  2. Roll the mixture into 1 tbsp balls and then roll the balls in hemp seeds.
  3. Put balls in the fridge to harden up.
  4. Eat 2-3 balls each day to help balance your hormones!
