DIGESTIVE DELIGHTS - Sun Potion

DIGESTIVE DELIGHTS

A note from Sophie

The perfect nutrient-rich, plant-powered snack — a seed-filled treat for when you are feeling inward, yet craving that internal fuel for the creative soul. Infused with seeds, resembling gestation and creative expression! With the soothing support of Yin Power, a blend traditionally valued for the feminine, guiding our creativity from the inward out. One of my favourite herbal formulas — it radiates confidence and the will power to go after what's calling! Also intermixed in here is Lion's Mane, our warrior of strength! I like to think of this combination of the masculine and feminine eloping in a beautiful, soft and strengthening way.

Intention

To strengthen and inspire the seeds within me to express themselves in creative ways! To provide radiance and energy for my day! Supporting the masculine and feminine within!

Ingredients

(serving size 8 small round balls)

3 medjool dates (or 1/3 cup date paste if not using a blender)

1/4 cup hemp seeds

1/2 cup sunflower seeds (use 1 tbsp. sunflower butter if you are mixing by hand)

1 tbsp. tahini butter

1 tsp. fennel seeds

1 tsp. Sun Potion Yin Power

1/2 tsp. Sun Potion Lion's Mane

1 tbsp. goji berries

1/4 tsp. vanilla bean

pinch of sea salt

Seed bites with hemp, sunflower and goji rolled into small round balls

Method

If you have a Vitamix or blender, place all ingredients except the goji berries in the blender and mix

You want everything combined and well mixed, while leaving enough crunch to your preference

I like mine pretty seedy, so I don't mix all the way!

Next, fold in the goji berries and gently hand-massage until it's all mixed in (if you do not have a blender, no worries — just use the instructions above and replace the whole seeds with seed butter)

Roll the dough into little round moons and place them in the fridge to firm up

They are great go-to snacks for the week!

** When placing your Yin Power and Lion's Mane into the mix, I invite you to infuse your intention into what you're creating! Remember, what you are thinking and feeling upon creation is also the intention! Enjoy!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a blender?

No. Swap the whole sunflower seeds for a tablespoon of sunflower butter and use date paste instead of whole dates, then mix by hand.

How long do they keep?

About a week in a sealed container in the fridge, which is why they make such a good weekly snack to batch on a Sunday.

What do Yin Power and Lion's Mane taste like here?

Both are subtle against the dates and tahini. Yin Power adds an earthy note and Lion's Mane is nearly undetectable.

Can I make them nut-free?

They already are — hemp, sunflower and sesame (tahini) are all seeds, not nuts.
