Maca Energy Bites

This no-bake snack that take about 5 minutes to make and won't heat up your kitchen. These bites include 2 of my favorite phytoestrogens - maca and flaxseed meal - which over time can help balance estrogen levels. maca has been shown to support energy, libido, bone health, cognitive function and even hot flashes. You can find maca in a gelatinized powder form on Fullscript (via my website) or at your local natural market.

• 3/4 cup Oats

• 1/2 cup Almond Butter (raw)

• 1/4 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes

• 1 tbsp Maple Syrup

• 1 tbsp Coconut Oil (melted)

• 1 tsp Cinnamon

1. Mix ingredients together in a large bowl. Using your hands, continue to mix until everything is well incorporated. Taste and add more salt or honey to your preference.

2. Take about ½ tablespoon of the mix at a time and squeeze together in your hand, shaping and rolling it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Eat right away or chill in the refrigerator or freezer to firm up.
