Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/3 cup coconut flakes plus more for rolling
  • 1/3 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 dates (pits removed and roughly chopped)

  • 1/4 tsp cardamon
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch sea salt finely ground
  • splash almond milk if needed for blitzing

Instructions

  • In a food processor add almond butter, coconut flakes, hemp hearts, oats, dates, spirulina, cardamon, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until the mixture becomes a dough like consistency, approx. 5 minutes. Add a splash of almond milk if needed for smoother blitzing (I used about 1 tbsp).
  • Roll the batter into bite sized balls, approx 2-inches in diameter.
  • Place bliss balls on parchment paper and continue process until you've used up all the dough. Optional to roll then roll the energy balls in coconut flakes for a pretty exterior.
