I love to create these herbal immune-boosting bites every spring to give my body an extra dose of power during the worst of tick season. This year, due to the world-wide outbreak of Coronavirus, it is even more vital to have a strong immune system and healthy body that is prepared to fight for itself. This recipe is SO SIMPLE, and a perfect opportunity to teach kids about the power of herbs and ways to keep their own bodies healthy.
All of the herbs listed in the recipe should be used in powder form. I prefer to buy all of my powered herbs through Mountain Rose Herbs.
RECIPE
1/2 Cup Astragalus Root Powder
1/4 Cup Eleuthero Root Powder
1/4 Cup Ashwagandha Root Powder
1 Tbsp Turmeric Powder
1 Tbsp Ginger Root Powder + another couple Tbsp to roll balls in
3/4 Cup Sunflower Butter or Tahini
1/2 cup raw, local Honey
Combine wet and dry ingredients separately, then mix together until the dough is a moist consistency. Form into ~ 1 inch balls and roll in a light coating of ginger powder.
Store in the fridge and eat 2/day (They are so tasty it will be a challenge to limit yourself to just two!).
