Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the ground almonds and cinnamon. Set aside for coating. (2 minutes)

02

Step

In a separate, larger bowl, combine the almond butter, agave syrup, and hemp protein powder. Mix well until fully incorporated. Stir in the shredded coconut, coconut sap, and ground nutmeg until evenly distributed. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Place the pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, and sesame seeds into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until coarsely blended, creating a nutrient-packed seed mixture. Add this to the almond butter mixture, along with the sunflower seeds. (7 minutes)

04

Step

Add the walnuts and dried apples in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until minced. Add the minced apple and walnuts to the almond butter mixture. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Using your hands, form the mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the almond-cinnamon mixture, ensuring a generous and even coating. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Place the coated energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Transfer to the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up. (30 minutes)

07

Step

Once firm, transfer the energy balls to an airtight container for storage. Keep refrigerated or frozen for optimal freshness and flavor.

For a smoother texture, use a high-speed blender to create a finer seed mixture.
Feel free to substitute other nut butters or seeds based on your preference and dietary needs.
If the mixture is too sticky, add a tablespoon of coconut flour or ground almonds at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
These energy balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a month.
