Ingredients

1 cup chia seeds, divided

1 cup hemp seeds, divided

¼ cup raw pepitas (pumpkin seed kernels)

Instructions

  1. Place ¼ cup chia seeds, ¼ cup hemp seeds, and ¼ cup pepitas into a spice grinder. Pulse about 10 times until finely ground. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
  2. Repeat the grinding process in three more batches using the remaining chia and hemp seeds, avoiding over-blending.
  3. Combine all ground batches in a bowl and stir until evenly mixed.
  4. Transfer the finished powder to an airtight container. Store at room temperature, in the fridge, or in the freezer for longer shelf life.
  5. Alternate method: Use a high-speed blender, pulsing carefully and scraping the sides as needed to avoid forming a paste.

Notes

  • Use a dry spoon to avoid introducing moisture.
  • Store in fridge or freezer to maintain freshness longer.
  • Do not heat directly—stir into warm or cold foods instead.
  • Customize with flax, oats, or flavor boosters like cinnamon or cacao powder.
  • Perfect for smoothies, oatmeal, baking, or homemade energy bites.
