Andrea's Superfood Power Balls!

This is another one of those recipes that are all over pinterest, tons of different variations and ways to make these. This is my chocolate version and my cookie doe- or vanilla version. As usual, I pack these with my favorite super foods, and you can totally sub in or out some of the ingredients to make them your own. This is the recipe I have settled on...for now... but I'm sure it will vary as my recipes usually do the more I make em.

I love these.

Lennon loves these. 

I always have them in the freezer and they are an easy take along high protein snack for you or baby, or kid, or hubbs... 2 of these fills me up for a few hours and they seriously taste delish! Ill post a few more of my variations when I get around to writing them down!! lol

Enjoy!


Chocolate Power Balls

Ingredients:

1.5 Cups organic dates, pitted

1/4 Cup organic goji berries

1/4 Cup raw organic unsalted cashews

3/4 Cup raw organic unsalted almonds

2 Tbs organic hemp hearts

1 Scoop brown rice protein powder

1 Tbs organic chia seeds

2 Tbs golden flax

3-4 Tbs dark cocoa powder

2 Tbs unsweetened organic shredded coconut

1-2 Tbs water as needed

Method:

Put dates, goji berries  and nuts into the food processor and blend until everything is broken down into small pieces. Add the hemp hearts and protein powder, continue to blend. Add the flax, coconut and chia, blend then add the cocoa and keep blending. Add the water one Tbs at a time- don't add too much or the balls will be too wet! you want the mixture to easily stick together when you squish it in your hands. Grab about 1.5- 2 tbs of the mixture and squeeze it together and then roll into 1.5- 2 inch balls. Store in the freezer. I usually keep a bunch in the fridge as well, just make sure you eat them within a week or so.

*note- you will need at least a 4-5 cup food processor to be able to fit everything in and blend properly.
