  1. Blend all ingredients except coatings together in a Vita-Mix or other suitable blender until seeds are mostly smooth with a few small pieces left for texture.
  2. Roll the dough in 3/4 " balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet
  3. Dip the balls in your choice of coatings. I like to do all three for a great presentation.
