Flax Balls, the magical pooping treat


Ingredients:

2 cups ground flaxseed
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup cocoa powder
1 cup shredded coconut
3/4 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup avocado oil
1 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
1/4 cup hemp protein powder (Hempcor or Manitoba Harvest unflavoured-found at Oliver's Health Foods)
14 fresh medjool dates, pitted and puréed In the food processor
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup pre mixed:

Chia seeds
Hemp hearts 
Buckwheat Seeds 
(1 1/ tbsp each)

On the stove over medium low heat in a sauce pan, Melt together the coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, peanut butter and avocado oil. 

Once melted add vanilla, sea salt, dates, rolled oats, flats, cocoa powder, and shredded coconut. 

Once well combined, the chia /hemp hearts/buckwheat mixture. 

Add the protein powder last.

Portion mixture with a 1" diameter ice cream scoop. Form into a ball, rolling and packing firmly, but shaping gently so as to not have it fall apart. The mixture will feel crumbly and oily when warm but will cool in the fridge to a ball of brilliant nutrients with a pleasant taste and texture. Eat 2 every day! These are nutrient and calorie dense. Always check your teeth after eating them, chia seeds have a way of making a home between the teeth😁
