Best recipe! I make these at least twice a month, and send it to everyone. Thank you.Â
Aw thanks, so glad to hear that!
Where do you get your hemp seeds?
From North Coast Naturals but there are lots of other good brands such as Manitoba Harvest and Food to Live.
This looks divine. I love the use of coconut for added texture. Can’t wait to try this!
How many balls are one serving?
For the whole recipe or per serving? A single serving is one ball.
So I just cracked into a fresh bag of my North coast Naturals hemp seeds and I am on a hemp seed craze right now. I am TOTALLY making these!
So sorry that the photography isn’t working for you! I wish I had more insights about photography with artificial light. These snack balls are motivating me to make some ASAP though! Super excited for your trip to Thailand! I stayed at one of the islands for a week, and it was so much fun.
So good to see you on my feed! These look awesome – and omg how does time fly by! I love that you are lifting so much – you go girl. Just goes to prove that vegans do in fact get enough protein 🙂 Have a great day!
Hello!!! I totally get being crazy busy for weeks (or months!!) – where does time go?? I’m hoping to start to slow down a little bit! I’ve missed visiting your site and getting awesome recipes! But I’m back and can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to! 🙂
Loving the recipe – and I totally need to look for that fine coconut! It’s so pretty!!! I’ve not seen it before – but I want some!
Lemme just say that your week of workouts makes me tired just looking at it! I’m about to head out for a quick run, but I’m already feeling like I need to do more! Thanks for the inspiration!!!!
You always have the best little bite recipes!
(Photography is such a struggle. Now in my dorm….which has no good windows for natural light, things are SO difficult!)
I glad I’m not the only one! I’m limited for space in my apartment, I can only imagine a dorm, haha!
