RECIPE BY: AURORA GILBERT
PHOTOGRAPHY BY: AURORA GILBERT
Makes 12-15 balls
For this recipe I just randomly grabbed jars full of nut & seeds out of my pantry & add to the thermomix & BOOM these bad boys were created!! These balls are jam pack full of nuts & seeds & a great quick energy boosting snack for when I’m busy looking after bub & don’t have time to feed myself.
As usual I have added extras that are optional - some collagen & protein powder.
Collagen is great for connective tissue skin loving & it’s cheaper than botox!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1/4 cup hemp hearts - from My Hemple use my code for 20% off the range: AURORA20
1/4 cup flax seeds
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup dehydrated buckwheat groats
3 tbs black sesame seeds
3 tbs chia seeds
3 tbs coconut sugar
1/2 cup dried cranberries
3 tbs nut butter - I used this cashew & vanilla nut butter from Honest Pantry
100g soaked dates
5 tbs melted coconut oil
5 tbs melted cacao butter
large pinch of salt
3 tbs collagen - optional
4 tbs protein powder - optional
Method:
Place almonds, coconut, hemp hearts, flax, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, buckwheat, sesame seeds, chia, coconut sugar, cranberries, collagen & protein powder into the thermomix & blitz on high for about 8 seconds - blitz for longer if you want less chunks of nuts.
Add the wet ingredients - nut butter, dates, coconut oil & cacao butter into thermomix & blitz until well combined.
Transfer into bowl, get your plastic gloves on (necessary or mixture sticks to your hands) & get ballin’.
Place into fridge for at least two hours to cool & set or I pop mine straight into the freezer & just pull them out as I eat them..
Enjoy :)
