Ingredients
  • 1 1/2cup Raw Almonds
  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin SeedsUnsalted if possible
  • 2tbsp Chia Seeds
  • 2 tbsp Fresh ground Flax SeedsVery important to grid just before using
  • 2tbsp Hemp Seeds
  • 1 cup MedJool dates
  • 1 1/2tbsp Raw Cacao Powder
  • 2tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 1tbsp Raw Almond Butter
  • dash Sea Salt
Instructions
  1. Add the almonds, pumpkin seeds, ground flax, hemp and chia seeds to the food processor and blend on high for about 2 – 3 mins. You are looking for a coarse flour. It’s important to wait to grid the flax seeds till you are using them for optimum nutrition – I just use my coffee bean grinder. And if you don’t grind them then you are missing out on the nutrients. Whole flax seeds just pass right through your digestive system – noting gets absorbed so what’s the point?!
  2. Next add the dates, cacao, coconut oil, almond butter and a dash of salt (as long as you got unsalted pumpkin seeds or the ones from Trader Joe’s – they are less salty) to the food processor till fully incorporated and sticky. About another 2-3 mins.
  3. Now the fun part! Rolling them into balls. I try to get them about an inch or so in diameter. Once you are done rolling all of them, I usually get about 20 or so bites, line wax paper between layers. Put them in the freezer for an hour, this helps them set. Then place in the fridge and I’d say they last about a week to 10 days. But really want happens is they get eaten before the week is out!
