DIRECTIONS

Blend all the above ingredients in a home blender, or a food processor, depends on what you own. Blend until all the mixture is starting to stick together.

All you do is now shape the mixture into 1 inch balls or whatever size you wish. 1 inch is best for bit size nibbles.

Super delish!!!

Recipes make about 6-8 balls.

BENEFITS OF HEMP SEEDS.

Hemp "seeds" are actually a fruit. They are round and tiny and have a a bit of a nutty flavour. They kind of taste like a pine nut with a more mild flavour.

Hemp seeds are a fabulous vegan source of easily digested protein. Hemp seeds contain all of the 10 essential amino acids and also are a healthy anti-inflammatory.

Hemp seeds are plant-based phytonutrients and rich in disease fighting nutrients.
An awesome alkaline food to help get you pH balanced.

Try sprinkling hemp seeds over a salad, as a topping on granola, puddings or other desserts. They can also be added to smoothies to give it a more nuttier flavour.

You can buy hemp sees at any natural foods store or if you prefer not to make the hemp balls, you can find them at Superfoods Eateries in Toronto, my health store of choice

Enjoy!
