Spirulina Protein Power Bites

September 25, 2014 4 Comments

I spotted it in the store a few months ago. It stood out and called my name: SPIRULINA.

Spirulina

I had heard about the almighty spirulina before, but I had never seen it at the store. Until THAT DAY. That day when I decided to look a little closer for this superfood that is such a rich source of calcium and iron.

And there it was. Sitting on a shelf. Calling my name.

Spirulina-Balls-Recipe

So I bought it. And it sat in my kitchen cupboard for over 2 months without being opened once. I’m a procrastinator, what can I say?

Spirulina-Balls

After seeing this full jar of spirulina at least 5 million times, I finally decided enough was enough, and set out to make something THAT DAY.

It was a green smoothie. And it was delicious. I’ve made that smoothie a bunch of times now and even my picky kids will drink it!

But this is not that recipe.

Spirulina-Snack-Balls

I was feeling ambitious a few weeks ago, and decided to use spirulina to make something other than green smoothies, so I went with these adorable little bites of goodness.

And it worked – they are absolutely delicious, and healthy and everything I love in a snack.

But man are they ever GREEN. I stained my white t-shirt while making these, so if you plan to make them, I strongly recommend black everything!

This Week’s Vegan Menu Plan

Every week, I create a menu plan for the week ahead. I’ve always found menu planning to be helpful, but especially when eating a vegan diet. Sometimes I forget to make one, and those weeks are just awful. I stare into the fridge and whine that there’s “nothing to eat”, even though the fridge is […]

Gluten-Free Vegan Pumpkin Scones with Chopped Pecans

Scones, anyone? What about pumpkin scones? With a delicious glaze and crushed pecans? Yes? You’re not sick of pumpkin yet, are ya? Pumpkin is still flying around my kitchen ALL THA TIMEEEEE these days and I am digging into it left and right. And these scones. They are not only stuffed with pumpkin and pecans […]

3 Ingredient Vegan Gnocchi

The first time I ever tried gnocchi was 2 years ago. I was browsing Pinterest (’cause duh, what else would I be doing with my time?) and came across this mysterious dish called “gnocchi”. Pasta made out of potatoes and flours. Pu-lease. I am too sophisticated for that. But I checked out the recipe anyway. […]

Chocolate & Coconut Pumpkin Bars (Raw, No Bake)

With a can of pumpkin in my hand, I was on a mission to make something tasty. I didn’t feel like cookies or cake or pie or fudge (WHAT?!), so I hopped on Pinterest and scoured the site for pumpkin treats I could make right here, right now. Then I got distracted by quotes. And […]

Chocolate Beetroot Dougnuts

Extra, extra! Read all about it! I put beets in my doughnuts and I’m loving every last bite of these chocolate morsels! I used to be one of those people who hated beets. In fact, just the sight of them alone would give me the heebie jeebies. My mom used to always buy the pickled […]

Mini Cauliflower Crust Pizzas with Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

The other day I was thinking out loud and my brain forced me to blurt out “cauliflower crust pizza I need you in my liiiiiife”. And clearly if I’m thinking about a particular food, I need to make it, or my brain will not be happy. And so I obliged. I made cauliflower crust pizza. And […]
