GOJI BERRY ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BLISS BALLS

SPIRULINA ENERGY BLISS BALLS
Makes about 10 balls
1 cup hulled hemp seeds + 2 tablespoons for rolling
½ cup pitted dates (soaked for 30 minutes)
¼ cup coconut oil
Pinch sea salt
1 tablespoon spirulina powder
In a high-powered blender (like Vitamix or BlendTec) or a food processor, add the strained dates melted coconut oil, hemp seeds and sea salt. Blend until smooth. Add the spirulina powder and blend until the mixture is a beautiful deep green throughout. Place the mixture in the fridge to firm up a bit before rolling into balls, about 20 minutes. Roll mixture by the tablespoon into uniform balls. Roll the balls in additional hemp seeds to coat and add a nice texture. Place in the fridge for at least a half hour before indulging.
