We learned at our healthy hormones event that maca is a herb that is famous for hormone balancing in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). However it isn’t just a PCOS celebrity, it is kind of an endocrine powerhouse for balancing all of the big hormones. Unfortunately, we have no solid evidence for it’s mechanism of action, but it’s been known to improve mood, reduce hot flashes, regulate menstrual cycles and reduces period pain.

 1.50 tsp Maca powder
 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
 ¼ cup dark chocolate chips or raw cacao nibs
 ½ cup raw almond or cashews
 ¼ cup goji berries or dried cranberries
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 810 soft Medjool dates, pit removed

1

If your Medjool dates are dry, soak them for 30 minutes to 1 hour in warm water.

2

Toss all ingredients into a high powder blender or preferably a food processor and blend until crumbly.

3

If the texture is lacking moisture, add a very small splash of water and keep adding until it reaches a texture that clumps nicely into balls.

4

Roll into 1.5 inch balls and enjoy every one of them!
