This is a variation to the classical almond butter. And it’s a nice way of incorporating more seeds in your daily diet. Seeds are such a great source of so many nutrients – in this butter I chose sunflower seeds (great source of vitamin E, B1,2,3, manganese, magnesium to name a few) and flax seeds which are a super source of omega 3 fats!
You can put really anything you like – mix the nuts, put hemp seeds, chia seeds etc.
If you love artichokes (like I do) and gherkins, capers and ginger (like I do), then this one is for you! I came up with this recipe exactly because i wanted to combine all these foods together! And I cannot have enough really. As a main or as a side dish, this is a must try.

I hope you enjoy every piece of it as much as I did!
What is there not to love about hemp seeds?! They are a great source of protein, omega 6 and 3, fiber and contain all essential amino acids! So it’s a very good idea to try and incorporate them in your daily routine – and these bars are a tasty solution.

Going through my ‘matcha madness’ moment currently! I cannot get enough of it; although I have to admit that I wasn’t crazy about the flavour at first. But it grows on you, and especially when you feel so energetic after your eat/drink it, well you fall in love with it!
This is how these balls where created: from our love for nuts, matcha and cacao! And the energy they give you!
