Friday Foodspiration: Lemon Sunflower Balls

IMG_2440.jpg

Whether you are seed cycling for natural hormone balance (see notes at the end of the post) for just want to boost nutrients for energy and a healthy immune system.

The ground sunflower and sesame seed combo in these energy balls are great for the liver, natural detoxification, estrogen/progesterone balance, and lowers inflammation. These nutrients could help anything from PCOS to menopause, mood swings to insomnia, and even thyroid health.

The best part – the whole family loves these a little sweet and a little tart lemony bites. For me, it fills a nutrient gap and is just the few bites I need after dinner to squelch that “dessert” craving.

  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice

Instructions:

  1. Add all dry ingredients to a food processor and pulse until combined.

  2. Add wet ingredients to food processor and pulse until a soft dough forms (add more sunbutter if too dry and more almond flour if too wet to form into balls)

  3. Use a cookie scoop and roll into small uniform balls.

  4. Optional to roll in shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, or lemon zest. Then, place in freezer for 1 hour. Eat or store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

*Ground seeds are great for natural hormone balance. Sunflower and sesame seeds are ideal for the luteal phase for women – days 15-28. It is necessary to grind the seeds – I do this in a clean coffee grinder.
