You want these in your purse, your desk drawer, and your freezer. A quick way to get quinoa, hemp seeds, chia, and coconut into one naturally sweetened, no-bake snack.
Ingredients
1 cup quinoa flakes
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 cup unsweetened, toasted coconut flakes, divided
1/4 cup hemp seeds (hemp hearts)
3 tablespoons coconut nectar (or maple syrup)
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, to taste
2/3 cup sunflower butter
Directions
Combine the quinoa, chia seeds, 1/4 cup of the toasted coconut, hemp seeds, coconut nectar, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl. Toss until well combined. Add the sunflower butter, and use your hands to really work the ingredients together. Adjust a bit if necessary, adding a bit more seed butter if the mixture won't stay in a ball shape. Alternately, add more quinoa flakes if the mixture is too sticky. Shape into balls by hand, and roll in a coating made of the remaining coconut flakes and bee pollen. Arrange on a parchment lined baking sheet or plate, and refrigerate or freeze. Carry around in a small jar, or any small structured bento or container.
