Mary’s Omega Balls
Ok I confess to being a chocolate lover. Seems like many of us need a healthy alternative to the standard chocolate offerings. Well I have come up with one that is a healthy raw yumfest for your taste buds and your body. This little nugget has pleased most everyone who has tried it. It contains superfoods and raw ingredients. Can you tell which ones in the picture are rolled in shelled hemp seed versus coconut?
Many thanks to others who have paved the way before me with a version of this recipe.
Mary’s Omega Balls
- 1 cup Coconut oil (put in pan of warm water to soften)
- ¾ -1 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1 cup dates (pitted and softened in warm water for 10 min.)

- ½ – ¾ cup Cacoa powder
- ¾ cup hemp seeds (hulled)
- 2-3 tbsp. ground flax seed
- 1-1.5 cups shredded coconut
Some type of protein powder and super greens powder. I have used these in the past.

or
- ½ – ¾ cup Manitoba Harvest Hemp vanilla protein powder with 2 Tbls. Perfect Food: Super Greens Formula
Mix all ingredients except hemp seeds and shredded coconut in a food processor or mix with a mixer. At the very last add hemp seeds and shredded coconut until just blended. Roll into balls in additional shredded coconut or hemp seeds and put in refrigerator for several hours to harden. Best stored in refrigerator.
