Packed with superfoods, these little cubes are true energy powerhouses. Spirulina powder, pumpkin protein powder, and hemp seeds provide protein and anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, while the maca root powder naturally replenishes energy and balances hormones.
YIELD
about 10 small ball or cubes
TIME
preparation: 10 min;
recommended chilling time: 3 – 4 hrs
EQUIPMENT
food processor (optional)
DIFFICULTY
easy
WHAT YOU NEED
1/2 cup raw cacao powder
2 tablespoons hemp seeds
2 tablespoons pumpkin protein powder (or any other protein powder of your choice, preferably plant-based)
2 tablespoons spirulina powder
1 tablespoon maca powder
2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
2 tablespoons (raw) honey
pinch of salt
HOW TO MAKE
Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix by hand until a smooth dough forms. (If you prefer, you can also use a food processor to mix.)
Roll into balls by hand, or fill the dough in small (silicon) cube molds for a more sophisticated look – whatever you prefer.
For best results refrigerate the balls (or cubes) for 3-4 hrs to let them set and become firm.
CHEF’S NOTE
As a variation, pumpkin protein can be replaced by any other vegan protein powder such as pea, hemp, sunflower, or sacha inchi. You can also use chlorella powder or a green superfood powder mix instead of spirulina – find your favorite!
