Stress Balance Energy Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 4 Lifestyle Awareness Stress Balance Tea Bags
• ½ cup pitted medjool dates
• 4 teaspoons Tadin ground flax seed
• 4 teaspoons Tadin chia seeds
• 5.5 tablespoons rolled oats
• 3 tablespoons nut butter
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ground pistachios
• fresh edible flower or dried culinary grade flowers

Directions (makes 8 bites):

1. Bring 1 cup of water a boil. Add 4 tea bags to a large mug, pour in hot water, cover mug, and let steep for 5 min.
2. While tea steeps, cut pitted dates in half and add to a small bowl. Once tea is ready, remove bags and pour hot tea over dates and let soak for 15 min.
3. Strain out softened dates from liquid and place them in a food processor. Blend until they form into a small ball.
4. Add chia seeds, ground flax, salt, nut butter, and vanilla. Blend until finely ground (like wet sand). If mixture is not sticky, add teaspoon of date-soaked tea water and blend again.
5. Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough and roll each into a small ball (wet your hands before rolling so the mixture doesn’t stick to you).
6. After rolling each ball, mix dried edible flowers and ground pistachios in a small bowl. Roll each ball in mixture to coat. Store bites in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Note: Enjoy these bites for breakfast, as a snack, or dessert!
