A simple protein-rich snack featuring hemp seeds, nut butter, and shredded coconut. Perfect for on-the-go or to satisfy a sweet tooth without loads of sugar.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut add 1-2 tbsp extra if mixture is too wet
  • 1/4 cup nut butter of choice sunflower seed butter, almond butter, peanut butter, etc.
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to bowl.

  2. Combine with spoon until mixture is dough-like. Mixture should be somewhat dry, but stick together well. If too wet, add another 1-2 tbsp shredded coconut.

  3. Roll into small bite-sized balls between hands and place into parchment-lined container or dish with lid.
