Omega-3 Packed Lemony Tahini Balls

As a busy mom of 3 toddlers who are all less than 4 years old (yes, I know… but I have twins:), a fancy proper breakfast is always a challenge! That’s why I always make sure to nourish my body with a quick and EASY snack to start the day right. These lemony tahini balls are powerful for the brain and heart! I always eat them with an apple or other fruit on the side for better vitamins and minerals absorption. This power snack is absolutely perfect for a gift for a nursing mama. Great for a party or to munch in the office.

p.s I forgot to coat them in coconut flakes!!! But please do.

Ingredients:

6 tbsp raw tahini paste

2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

½ lemon, first zested than juiced

6 Medjool dates, pitted

1 cup raw walnuts

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp ground flax seeds (optional)

Coconut flax for coating

Instructions:

1). Place the tahini, dates, honey, lemon zest and juice in a food processor. Run for a minute until combined. Add the walnuts and pulse until you get a small-medium piece. You want to keep the texture!

2).Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the chia seeds and mix until combined. Form nice bite-size balls and coat with unsweetened coconut flax mixed with some lemon zest. (I recommend using gloves in this process)

3). Place in a flat container and keep refrigerated for a week.

Enjoy!
