Nourish to Flourish: Oatmeal Bliss Balls

Nourish to Flourish: Oatmeal Bliss Balls

Dear one,

In the quiet rhythms of the kitchen, there’s a sacred opportunity to nourish not only the body but the heart and soul. These soft, chewy oatmeal bliss balls are more than just a sweet treat—they are grounding bites of self-love, hand-rolled with intention. Whether you’re seeking comfort in a busy season or simply looking for a wholesome snack, these little gems will hold you with warmth and nourishment.

And because we are all so beautifully unique, I’ve included a gentle Ayurvedic touch to honor your inner balance. In the ancient science of Ayurveda, we attune our food to our constitution—or more importantly, our current state of imbalance, our Vikruti. With a few simple additions, you can personalize these bliss balls to support your healing path.

Let’s begin:

Oatmeal Bliss Balls with Dosha-Specific Support

Base Ingredients:

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed

• 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

• 1/4 cup tahini

• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Optional for Coating:

• Sesame seeds or chia seeds

Optional Additions to Balance Your Dosha:

For Vata (Air & Ether – tends to feel cold, dry, anxious, scattered):

Add warming, grounding spices to soothe and stabilize:

• 1/2 tsp ground ginger

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp nutmeg

For Pitta (Fire & Water – tends to feel hot, intense, irritable):

Add cooling, calming flavors to soothe the fire:

• 1/2 tsp cardamom

• 1 tsp rosewater or a sprinkle of dried rose petals

• Zest of lime or lemon

For Kapha (Earth & Water – tends to feel heavy, sluggish, congested):

Add stimulating, invigorating spices to awaken energy:

• 1/2 tsp dry ginger

• 1/2 tsp clove

• Pinch of black pepper

Instructions:

1. Add all base ingredients (and any of your chosen dosha-balancing spices) to a food processor.

2. Run until the mixture is fully combined and sticky. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon more tahini or maple syrup.

3. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion into 1.5 tablespoon-sized balls.

4. Roll each ball gently between your palms until smooth.

5. If desired, roll in sesame seeds for a sweet outer crunch.

6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes until firm.

7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week—or freeze for longer.

As you prepare these little bites, I invite you to slow down. Let the scent of the spices, the texture of the oats, and the rhythm of rolling each ball become a ritual of care. You are tending to more than your hunger. You are tending to your spirit.

May each bite bring you back to yourself, to the wisdom of your body, and to the joy of being nourished by your own hands.

With all my heart,

Mystic
