Chocolate Hazelnut Goji Protein Bites

Uncategorised

30 Jun

Recently on the blog, I’ve been talking about some of the hormonal imbalances I have been dealing with recently. Here’s the thing: hormonal imbalances and even symptoms of PMS (which are a result of hormonal imbalances) are an indicator that something is just not right. What is also important to note, these symptoms, if not rectified now, could lead to issues later on in life. For example, extreme symptoms of menopause.

You can read more about my experience on this post called “Solutions for the Hormonal Crazy Train (but, you’re not crazy) {Part 1}“. Now, onto the recipe.

These bites are a perfect pre/post workout snack. But, there especially intended to help target hormonal imbalances with the addition of raw cacao and maca. The plant based proteins in these nuggets are also a welcome addition.

Ingredients:
1 cup of raw hazelnuts
8 dates
4 tablespoons of raw cacao
4 tablespoons of goji berries
3 tablespoons of coconut oil
1 tablespoon of maca
Pinch of salt

Directions:
Process all ingredients. Chill for 15 minutes. Roll into balls.
These must be refrigerated but they can also be frozen.

Enjoy!

If someone had told in my 30’s that strength train If someone had told in my 30’s that strength training was the fountain of youth, I would have laughed my signature *big laugh*.

While Strength training can temporarily increase growth hormone and other anabolic signals —  the real anti-aging win is maintaining muscle, bone and physical function as you get older.

This time next year, I’ll be turning 5-0. And while I’ve never felt better, I’m even more motivated to become an even stronger (and hotter) version of myself.

Fibre is one of those unsexy nutrition basics that Fibre is one of those unsexy nutrition basics that becomes especially worth paying attention to in perimenopause.

It supports gut health, regularity, blood sugar management, cholesterol levels and satiety — and most of us could use more of it.

Think: berries, vegetables, beans, lentils, whole grains, chia, flax and psyllium.

Aim for roughly 25–30+ g a day and increase gradually alongside plenty of fluids.

Your future self may thank you. Plus, your 💩 like a queen 😉
