CHIA PROTEIN PACKED CHOCOLATE ORBS (RAW - VEGAN - HEALTHY!)

Chia Protein Packed Chocolate Orbs (Raw - Vegan - Healthy!) image

There is a lot of information out there about Chia seeds (Salvia) and what a nutritional powerhouse they are. I'm trying to find new ways to incorporate them into my diet, aside from sprinkling them on breakfast cereal. Recently my health food store handed out a few recipes including chia seeds, which is where this one stems from. I'm no expert but I do know they are high in omega-3, fibre, calcium and protein. I know of vegans using chia seeds soaked in water in place of eggs (or in place of "flax" eggs). I'm planning to post a recipe for chia egg replacer shortly. This page has lots of great information about these seeds - http://www.living-foods.com/articles/chia.html. I halved the original recipe, since these seeds are expensive I didn't want to risk it. If you don't happen to have coconut oil (aka coconut butter), I think it would be fine to leave it out because there is enough oil in the tahini and almond butter to hold things together. These make a fantastic snack.

I keep these little bites on hand in my refrigerator and grab them for breakfast or a snack when I'm in a hurry. We have a lot of food allergies in our family and I like to keep healthy snacks around that everyone can eat.

Tips:

To ensure the orbs have a smooth texture, use a high-quality blender that can pulverize the chia seeds into a fine powder.
If you don't have a blender, you can grind the chia seeds in a coffee grinder or food processor.
Be sure to soak the chia seeds for at least 30 minutes before using them. This will help them to absorb more liquid and become gel-like, which will give the orbs their characteristic texture.
If you want a sweeter orb, you can add more maple syrup or agave nectar to taste.
You can also add other flavorings to the orbs, such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or cinnamon.
If you're short on time, you can make the orbs ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To serve, simply roll the orbs in cacao powder or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

These chia protein-packed chocolate orbs are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for a quick breakfast, lunch, or dessert. They're also a great way to get your daily dose of protein, fiber, and antioxidants. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give these orbs a try. You won't be disappointed!
