Takes 5 minutes
Serves 12
Ingredients
- 100 g ¾ cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 70 g ⅓ cup shelled hemp seeds (hemp hearts)
- 50 g ⅓ cup whole raw almonds, with skin intact
- 40 g ¼ cup chia seeds
- 30 g 3 tbsp whole or ground flaxseeds (linseeds)
- 20 g 3 tbsp pure cacao powder or cocoa powder
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar or date sugar optional
Instructions
- Grind the dry ingredients: Add the almonds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, cacao powder, sea salt and optional coconut sugar to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend for 10–15 seconds, until finely ground and flour-like.
- Add the seeds: Add the pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds to the blender.
- Pulse to combine: Pulse in short 1–2 second bursts until the seeds are finely broken down and everything is well combined. Be careful not to over-blend, as the nuts and seeds can release their oils and turn into a paste.
- Store: Transfer the powder to a clean, dry airtight glass jar and store in the fridge for up to 8 weeks.
- To serve: Add 30g (about 3 level tbsp) of the protein powder to 250ml (1 cup) cold soy milk or another high-protein plant milk. Add to a shaker bottle, shake vigorously for around 20 seconds and enjoy.
