Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body.
And while it has a host of important benefits, magnesium has been shown to help calm your immune system and promote better sleep.
Enter in these almond bliss balls.
These healthy vegan treats are packed full of ingredients that are good sources of magnesium, including almonds, almond butter, oats, and flax seeds.
In fact, when made into 30 bliss balls, each one contains about 9% of your daily magnesium needs.
So besides tasting like oatmeal cookie dough (which they totally do by the way), they could also help you relax and get some shut-eye!
There are two flavor combinations I go with:
Option 1: Lavender blueberry
For this option, add 2 teaspoons of dried lavender to your food processor when you pulse the oats into a flour. Once your batter is combined, stir in ¼ cup of dried blueberries just before rolling into balls.
Option 2: Chocolate chip
As dark chocolate is also a good source of magnesium, I’ll sometimes add some mini dark chocolate chips just before rolling these into balls. I’d start with 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips and add more per personal preference.
