GOJI BERRY ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BLISS BALLS

SPIRULINA ENERGY BLISS BALLS

Makes about 10 balls

• 1 cup hulled hemp seeds + 2 tablespoons for rolling

• ½ cup pitted dates (soaked for 30 minutes)

• ¼ cup coconut oil

• Pinch sea salt

In a high-powered blender (like Vitamix or BlendTec) or a food processor, add the strained dates melted coconut oil, hemp seeds and sea salt. Blend until smooth. Add the spirulina powder and blend until the mixture is a beautiful deep green throughout. Place the mixture in the fridge to firm up a bit before rolling into balls, about 20 minutes. Roll mixture by the tablespoon into uniform balls. Roll the balls in additional hemp seeds to coat and add a nice texture. Place in the fridge for at least a half hour before indulging.
