Heart Healthy, nutrient packed little bites of yummy goodness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recipe<\/strong>:<br \/>\nCombine the following in food processor or blender:<\/p>\n<p>1-2 ripe peeled bananas<br \/>\n1 cup protein powder of choice<br \/>\n1 cup rolled oats<br \/>\n1-3 soaked pitted dates<br \/>\n1-3 Tbsps nut butter of choice<br \/>\nNut allergy: replace with 1 ripe avocado<br \/>\nBlend until well combined!<\/p>\n<p>Add the following and mix in by hand:<br \/>\n2 Tbsps chia seeds<br \/>\n2 Tbsps flax seeds (meal\/ground)<br \/>\n2 Tbsps hemp seeds<br \/>\n2 Tbsps quinoa (uncooked)<br \/>\nYou can leave out any of the above seeds, all preference.<\/p>\n<p>Channel your inner child and have some fun rolling into about 1oz balls and enjoy!! You can top with all sorts of things like raisins, chocolate chips, nuts and roll into coconut, cacao or oats too! I sprinkle with a bit of sea salt, but that is completely optional.<br \/>\nIf mixture is dry, add a little water. If mixture is too wet, refrigerate before rolling like you would cookie dough.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":1146,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"issue":[30],"topic":[],"class_list":["post-1145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health-wellness","issue-medicine-mindfulness-modern-innovation"],"acf":{"sub_title":"Wholesome, fiber-packed bites made with simple ingredients- perfect for pre-workout fuel, post workout recovery, or a midday pick-me-up.","article_author":"Crystal Rivera, CPT Wellness Coordinator, COMP","featured_video":{"video_iframe":false,"video":"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1071979278","video_url":""}},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazines.westernu.edu\/future-of-medicine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazines.westernu.edu\/future-of-medicine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazines.westernu.edu\/future-of-medicine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazines.westernu.edu\/future-of-medicine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazines.westernu.edu\/future-of-medicine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1145"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/magazines.westernu.edu\/future-of-medicine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1145\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1234,"href":"https:\/\/magazines.westernu.edu\/future-of-medicine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1145\/revisions\/1234"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazines.westernu.edu\/future-of-medicine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazines.westernu.edu\/future-of-medicine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazines.westernu.edu\/future-of-medicine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1145"},{"taxonomy":"issue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazines.westernu.edu\/future-of-medicine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue?post=1145"},{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazines.westernu.edu\/future-of-medicine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=1145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
