Tumeric Cinnamon Energy Bites

Turmeric Cinnamon Energy Bites ( anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant)

I am a big believer in fueling my body with nutrient dense foods.  I like to snack in these energy bites as they pack a big punch in a small bite and curb my cravings for sweets.  I will eat 2 of these for breakfast and they keep me going until lunch or they are perfect for an afternoon snack.  Turmeric is a spice that helps with my immune system and little aches I have from overdoing a workout or any injury.  I also kick up my turmeric consumption when I have a cold. Enjoy these bites- this is how I put them together, but add or subtract as you wish keeping the main ingredients- I add things like chia, hemp, or flax seed or goji berries.

Ingredients
1 C of flour or oat flour ( blend gluten free oats)
And to the Blender-
1/2 C walnuts blended with flour
5 pitted dates blended with flour

1T turmeric
Pinch of Himalayan salt
1 T cinnamon
1T raw honey
1/4 C of nut butter - I use almond
1 T coconut oil
1 t vanilla extract

Optional- T of flax, chia, or hemp seed, goji berries,cocoa nibs

Directions

After you have combined the flour and walnuts and dates in the blender, add the remaining dry ingredients.

Combine nut butter, coconut oil, and vanilla in a small bowl and mix. Add to blender and mix for about 30 seconds just to combine it all.

Freeze for about 10 minutes. Remove and roll into bite size balls. Refrigerate.
