Acai Chocolate Pumpkin Seed Balls

🧂 Ingredients

½ cup Pumpkin Seeds

(about 60 grams)
2 cups Pitted Dates

(about 225 grams)
2 tbsp Chia Seeds

(about 20 grams)
1 tbsp Acai Powder

(about 10 grams)
½ tbsp Cocoa Powder

(about 5 grams)
1½ scoops Level 1-Milk Chocolate Protein Powder

(about 55 grams)
¾ cup Pumpkin Seeds

(about 90 grams)
½ cup Cashews

(about 60 grams)
2 tbsp Water

Instructions

1 Start by making pumpkin seed crumbs. Place ½ cup pumpkin seeds in a food
processor and pulse until you have a chunky crumb consistency. Then remove the
pumpkin seed crumbs from the food processor and spread them out evenly on a
plate. Then set the plate aside, you will roll your balls in these crumbs at the
end.
2 Now add your dates, chia seeds, acai powder, cocoa powder, and chocolate protein
to the food processor. Pulse on high for about 1 minute, until you have a thick
cookie batter consistency.
3 Then add your cashews and additional pumpkin seeds into the food processor,
pulse until just mixed in, and roughly chopped. You might need to mix the batter
up with a spoon or spatula a few times to get the nuts mixed in. You don't want
to just add the nuts at the beginning because they add additional texture to the
balls, rather than being totally ground up.
4 Now it's time to add the water, but the amount of water depends on your
ingredients and how moist they are. Try making a ball out of the current batter
before adding water. Does the ball hold up and is it a little tacky on the
outside? If yes then no water is needed, that is what you are looking for. If
the ball wants to crumble and is not a little sticky then add a little water, 1
tablespoon at a time. No more than 2 tablespoons should be needed.
5 Once you have the thick cookie consistency you can begin rolling your balls. The
batter should allow you to make 18, 1 inch balls. After rolling your balls you
can roll each ball individually into the pumpkin seed crumbs!
6 If you find the balls are a little too sticky and sticking to your hands, you
can dampen your hands, this will prevent the balls from sticking to them. If you
think you added too much water to the batter, you can stiffen the batter up some
by placing it in the fridge for about an hour, and then you should be able to
roll your balls. This batter is delicious so even if your balls are a little too
soft, they will still be super tasty!
