Ingredients

Acai and Hemp Seed Energy Balls

  • ¼ cup acai powder
  • ¼ cup hemp seeds
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • ½ cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp cacao powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ½ cup sunflower kernels

Instructions

  • Ensure that the pips have been removed from your dates, then blitz in food processor till finely chopped 
  • Add peanut butter, cacao powder, chia seeds and sunflower kernels. Blitz again to combine 
  • Refrigerate mix for 15-30 minutes 
  • Use a spoon to portion out the mix and use wet hands to roll into balls 
  • Pour Acai Powder into one bowl and Hemp Seeds into another. Roll acai ball snacks in either mix to coat
  • Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks. 

Notes

  1. If you use a small ice cream scoop your acai ball snacks will be of a uniform consistency (imagine the emojis if we were having this conversation by text!). It was when I was driving home from the shops that I realised I had forgotten to buy said small ice cream scoop and I didn't have the energy to go back again (I hadn't eaten one of these yet, haha!). But if perfection is your thing and you want them all to be a very similar size, then I highly recommend using that to master your technique. Perfection is never something I strove highly for so you will notice my balls are unique in their shapes and sizes much like true free range eggs!
