These wonderful little energy nuggets are great for the back packer, student, or long distance traveler for a delicious pick-me-up snack. (Be careful not to eat this snack too late in the day, you might zoom all night!)
- Start with a base of 1 part honey and 1 part Sesame butter (or any delicious nut butter such as almond butter, cashew butter, etc.) Mix this together well.
- Add Bee Pollen, Royal Jelly exract, Ginseng, I usually mix about 1-2 Tablespoons of each ingredient into 1 cup of the honey/nut butter mix
- If you wish to add Guarana for the Zoom effect, mix in about 1 tablespoon per cup of mix.
- Add Coconut, Chopped nuts, and carob chips for that final touch: (chocolate chips if you feel especially decadent).
- Roll into balls or press into bars. These are yummy snack foods, great to take along camping, on long hikes, and as quick energy food.
*a little note on the use of guarana and other herbal stimulants~
Herbal stimulants evoke images of endless energy, heightened awareness, and sensory arousal. Many of the common stimulants people use today deplete ones natural vitality and decrease one’s natural energy if overused. Overuse of common stimulants actually dulls the vitality we seek to have. The stimulants, coffee beans, nicotine, yerbe mate, black and green tea, kola (used in making coco cola) and guarana are powerful plants and powerful teachers. Used with respect, awareness, and honor they work for us. When using these powerful plants in an abusive way that life energy will work against us. Enjoy the Zoomballs! They are delicious, nutritious and will give wonderful energy that we require on days when we need to go that extra mile! Bon Appetit!
