Dr. Julie's Fast-Fiber Bites




Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup nut butter of your choice (e.g., almond butter, sunflower butter)

- 1 Tbsp coconut oil, melted

- 4 Tbsp psyllium husk or psyllium seed powder

- 3 Tbsp freshly ground flax seeds

- 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed for consistency)


Optional:

- 1-2 teaspoons stevia or monk fruit (adjust to taste). Alternatively, 1-2 teaspoons of honey can be used.

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- A pinch of salt

- Unsweetened shredded coconut, cocoa nibs, or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor


Directions:

1. Prep: Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a tray or plate.

2. Mix: In a large bowl, first combine the nut butter, melted coconut oil, and water. In a separate bowl, mix the psyllium husk and ground flax seeds. Then combine both mixtures, stirring until you get a consistent and thick blend. Adjust with more water if the mix seems too dry or crumbly.

3. Shape: Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls.

4. Optional Coating: Roll the balls in unsweetened shredded coconut, cocoa nibs, or chopped nuts, if desired.

5. Set: Place the balls on the prepared tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

6. Store: Once set, transfer the balls to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.


Additional Notes:

- Chia seeds can replace ground flax seeds if preferred.

- Psyllium seed powder offers more health benefits than psyllium husks.

- While peanut butter isn't the healthiest nut butter choice, it's still acceptable for this recipe.
