Chocolate Coconut Energy Balls

We love making these for our family for a quick pick-me-up snack, especially for a mid-afternoon snack. Full of protein, healthy fats and low-glycemic carbs, they are easy to make and fun to eat!

From Dr. Patti & Dr. Colin’s Recipe Collection
(Makes 20 balls)

½ Cup raw almonds
¼ Cup raw walnut pieces or more almonds
¼ Cup of hemp hearts
10 pitted medjool dates
2 Tbsp extra virgin coconut oil
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ Cup raw cacao powder
1 Tbsp filtered or spring water
1 good pinch of Himalayan sea salt, don’t be shy
1 tsp wheatgrass powder or unflavoured greens powder (optional)
⅓ Cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for rolling)

Combine almonds, walnuts and hemp seeds in a food processor or blender and process into a fine meal.
Add the dates and process until well incorporated.
Add remaining ingredients except the shredded coconut and combine until dough is formed. Place shredded coconut in a small bowl. 
Roll into 1 tablespoon balls then roll each ball in coconut to coat. Place your energy balls in an air tight container in the fridge or freezer.
Keep refrigerated until serving.
