  1. Add 1 cup nut or seed butter, 5 pitted dates, 1/4 cup protein powder, 3/4 cup hemp seeds, and 1/4 cup chia seeds to a food processor.
  2. Process until the mixture is evenly combined and tacky, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed; the mixture should hold together when pressed between your fingers.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Using a tablespoon, scoop portions and roll each portion between your palms to form balls; place finished balls on a tray or plate (lining with parchment is optional).
  4. Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to firm before serving.
  5. Store leftover protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Is this recipe be filling enough to serve on it’s own for breakfast?Because these Protein Balls are (obviously) packed with protein, which is especially important for breakfast, as it can help you feel full and satisfied, and avoid snacking before lunch.
Do these travel well?Yes. Because all of the ingredients are shelf-stable, they are perfect to pack for camping trips, a long flight, or a weekend road trip.
