Ingredients

Phase 1 Seed Cycling Energy Balls (Chai Spiced)

3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons flax seeds *
3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds *
10 Medjool dates (1 cup/150 grams)
3/4 cup vanilla protein powder **
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon almond milk
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon allspice
pinch of sea salt

Phase 2 Seed Cycling Energy Balls (Chocolate Cinnamon)

3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds *
3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons sesame seeds *
10 Medjool dates (1 cup/150 grams)
3/4 cup chocolate protein powder **
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon almond milk
2 tablespoons cacao powder
2 tablespoons maca powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon
pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Phase 1 + Phase 2 Seed Cycling Balls

Grind your seeds. Add to a blender (or whatever method you usually use) and blend until ground into a flour-like consistency. If needed, do in a few batches to ensure they are evenly ground.
Add dates to a food processor and pulse a few times to break down. Add in ground seeds and remaining ingredients. Pulse for 30 seconds or so until dough-like consistency forms. The batter should look a little crumbly, but stick together when you press on it. If too dry, add a bit more almond milk. If too wet, add a bit more protein powder or spices.
Using a tablespoon as a spoon, form into 28 equal-sized balls (makes for eating 2 balls per day). Each ball will be about 21 grams. You can also make larger seed cycling balls and form in 14 balls (42 grams each), eating one ball a day. Store in the refrigerator or freezer and eat 2 a day (if making 28 balls) for 14 days. Once finished, make the next phase!

Notes

*using 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (14 tablespoons) of each seed will give you 14 days worth of energy balls. Adjust the amount of seeds for how many days you want.

***This recipe works best with plant-based protein powder. Depending on the consistency of the powder, you may have to adjust the quantity. If your batter is too wet, you can add some rolled oats to help it bind together. If you don't have protein powder, I would substitute rolled oats.
