The Perfect Snack for Energy, Vitality and Weight-loss

Want a snack that’s not only healthy, but tasty and full of nutrition?  One that will maybe even help you to whittle your waistline? 


Introducing…. The protein ball. These bite-size snacks are the perfect way to enjoy something yummy while also packing a whopping nutritional punch.  You can use any kind of protein powder for these balls, but I highly recommend giving hemp protein powder a try. Living Harvest and Nutiva are two great brands of unrefined, pure hemp protein. This protein ball has a lot of healthy ingredients. In one serving, you’re getting: 

•  Antioxidants from raw cacao 
  
• Omega-3s from flax seeds 
  
•  Magnesium for muscle relaxation from sunflower seeds 
  
•  Anti-parasitic and anti-viral properties of shredded coconut 
  
•  Metabolic boost from coconut oil Try whipping up this tasty treat to satisfy your taste buds AND provide a whopping nutritive punch! 

HEMP PROTEIN BALLS (Makes 5 balls) 
2 tablespoons hemp protein powder
3 tablespoons hemp seeds 
3 tablespoons sunbutter 
1 tablespoon coconut oil ½ teaspoon cinnamon 
1 tablespoon raw cacao 1 tablespoon honey or stevia (only a few drops needed) shredded coconut

 COMBINE THE INGREDIENTS. 
Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. Stir until ingredients are combined and mixed well. 

MAKE THE PROTEIN BALLS. Once ingredients are mixed well, Roll into 5 even balls. Roll each ball in a bowl of shredded coconut - feel free to dust them with more cacao for an extra boost of antioxidants. Place on a wax paper lined dish and place in freezer for 10 minutes.
