MCAS-Safe Hemp Seed Energy Balls for Nervous System Support
These no-bake energy balls combine tryptophan-rich hemp seeds with magnesium-dense sunflower seeds to support serotonin synthesis and GABA production for nervous system regulation. Hemp seeds provide complete amino acids including tryptophan, the precursor to serotonin, while fresh ginger adds gingerol compounds that modulate inflammatory cytokines and support neurotransmitter balance.

Ingredients
β1 cup shelled hemp seeds, raw
β1/2 cup sunflower seeds, raw and unsalted
β1/4 cup coconut flour
β2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
β2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
β1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
β1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
β1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Method
1Pulse sunflower seeds in a food processor for 10-15 seconds until roughly chopped but not powdered - over-processing releases oils that can become rancid
2Add hemp seeds, coconut flour, cinnamon, and sea salt to processor and pulse 3-4 times to combine without over-mixing
3In a small bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil (cooled to room temperature), maple syrup, and freshly grated ginger
4Pour wet ingredients over seed mixture and pulse briefly until mixture holds together when pressed - avoid over-processing to preserve omega-3 fatty acids
5Roll mixture into 16 small balls using clean hands, placing on a parchment-lined tray
6Refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up before serving - consume immediately or store covered in refrigerator for maximum freshness
