Do you ever get a sugar craving and even though those cookies or that piece of chocolate sound perfect, you want to have something a little more nutritious? If so, then this recipe for no bake walnut coconut hemp seed bites is for you! Just one (yes! just one!) will do the trick and send your sweet craving packing.
When coming up with the combination for these bites, walnuts were at the top of the list. A favourite snack of mine is a pitted date with a whole walnut stuffed inside which is why I have included some roughly chopped walnuts in addition to the ground walnuts—for the crunch and texture.
Not only will these walnut coconut hemp seed bites fix your sweet craving, they’re also packed with hemp seeds and shredded coconut. So in addition to all of the good things you’ll be getting from the dates, you’ll also benefit from the good stuff hemp seeds, walnuts, and dried coconut have to offer.
When I make these, I make them on the weekend (bonus that they’re no bake, so no need to turn the oven on!), store them in a glass container in the fridge, and grab one when a sweet craving hits during the week.
So save the cookies and chocolate for a future craving (because, let’s be honest, cookies and chocolate will always have a place in our lives!) and this time, calm your sweet tooth with a walnut coconut hemp seed bite!
