Hemp and Peanut Butter Bliss Balls

These Hemp Seed and Peanut Butter Bliss Balls are a delightful and nutritious treat that will satisfy your sweet cravings while providing a boost of energy and essential nutrients. Packed with the goodness of hemp seeds, desiccated coconut, and natural peanut butter, these bliss balls are not only delicious but also wholesome.

To make these bliss balls, we start by soaking pitted dates in warm water to soften them and enhance their natural sweetness. Once drained, we combine the dates with hemp seeds, desiccated coconut, natural peanut butter, hemp protein powder, and cocoa powder in a food processor. The mixture is processed until it forms a sticky dough-like consistency, and if needed, a touch of water can be added to bind it together.

Once the mixture is well combined, we roll small portions into 15g balls, using approximately 1 teaspoon of mixture for each. For an added nutty crunch and flavor, we roll these bliss balls in hulled hemp seeds. The hemp seeds not only provide a delightful texture but also contribute to the nutritional profile of the bliss balls.

After rolling all the bliss balls, we place them on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the bliss balls to firm up, making them easier to handle and enjoy. Once they are chilled, you can savor the bliss balls, savoring the harmonious combination of flavors from the hemp seeds, peanut butter, and cocoa powder.

These Hemp Seed and Peanut Butter Bliss Balls are not only a tasty treat but also a smart choice for a healthy snack. Packed with nutrients from hemp seeds, protein from hemp protein powder, and natural sweetness from dates, they offer a well-rounded nutritional profile. Whether you indulge in these bliss balls as a post-workout snack, a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or a guilt-free dessert, they are sure to satisfy your taste buds and nourish your body.
