- 1 cup dates soaked in warm water for 20 minutes
- ¼ cup collagen
- 1 teaspoon spirulina powder or chlorella
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- ⅛ cup Shredded Coconut unsweetened
- ⅛ cup Hemp Hearts

Notes
Grab all the ingredients you need from my Pantry Staples.
Make sure to soak the dates to make it easier on your food processor and so that they come out smooth.
Grease your hands with coconut oil to roll the balls as they are quite pretty much sticky dough. This prevents the spirulina balls from sticking to your hands and helps them hold together.
Use shredded coconut for the spirulina balls. Coconut flakes tend to make the balls too chunky and hard to hold together.
