Please see notes below for more info on consuming maca powder as a supplement for hormonal health.

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
2 tbsp maca root powder*
pinch of salt
1 – 2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup cashew butter

Method

1. In a food processor, blend oats, maca powder, salt, and cinnamon until oats are the size of coarse sand.
2. Add maple syrup and cashew butter, and pulse until mixture comes together completely.
3. Roll mixture into balls.
4. Place in the fridge to firm up and allow flavours to develop. For best results, refrigerate overnight.

Notes:

1. *Maca powder is not recommended for those with hypothyroidism.
2. *1 tsp is a full serving of maca powder for a day. If mixture is divided into 12 balls, the 2 tbsp of maca powder will provide 1 serving per 2 balls consumed. If you plan to eat more than 2 bliss balls per day, I recommend using less maca powder in order to provide the recommended dosage.
3. Blend the oats to your preferred texture. You may like blending the oats only a bit and having a chunkier texture to the balls, or you may want the oats completely blended for a smooth, doughy texture.
4. If mixture isn’t sticky enough to roll into balls, add a touch of maple syrup, cashew butter, or water and blend until mixture can be rolled without crumbling.
5. Bliss balls can also be placed in the freezer, then put into you lunch bag in the morning for the perfect snack at work or school.
