Glow Beauty Balls
beauty breakfast series
I rarely have felt the desire for a big breakfast. Most of my life, I have preferred slow mornings, and that includes a gentle entrance into food as well. I always begin my morning with a tonic and then move into solid food. Some days require a quicker get up and go. I got in the habit of grabbing protein bars, but I noticed that my hair and skin started to show signs of malnourishment, so I decided to make my own version. The balls are a bite-sized way to fill the body with rich nutrients in a quick and easy fashion - though I do still encourage savoring. If you can, sit and take a breath between each bite to receive the most benefit (even if that is in the car).
I have a few versions of the ball now, but today I am going to share my first “Glow Beauty Ball”. Its key ingredients include Black Sesame Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds and Walnuts. Full of good fats for your brain, high levels of iron and copper for the immune system and skin, and calcium for your bone structure and teeth, this one may become a classic in your fridge. I do love to add a clean protein powder to them to ramp up the protein in each ball. Body Health’s Perfect Aminos is my preference. They taste lovely without the powder if you prefer a simpler whole foods version. Either way, you are getting nourishment in and communicating stability and steadiness to your body - the main goal of Beauty Breakfasts!
Keep these stored in your fridge. The recipe makes 12, but you can double or triple it and pack your freezer with batches!
