Recipe for homemade hemp balms made from hulled seeds, peanut butter, and cocoa. Proportions in grams, 15 minutes of work, and nutritional values per 100 g.
Hemp lip balms are made without baking, with five ingredients and in fifteen minutes of work at the counter. The rest happens in the refrigerator. The mixture of peanut butter, honey, cocoa, and coconut oil hardens after cooling, and the hulled hemp seeds remain whole and crunchy, as they do not gel like chia and do not need to be ground like flaxseed. Let's set expectations right away: this is a dessert, not a diet snack. One hundred grams of the finished mixture provides about 523 kcal and 21 g of sugars. Below you will find the proportions in grams, the order of steps, a nutritional value table, and the actual shelf life.
KEY INFORMATION
• Hulled hemp seeds contain 553 kcal, 31.6 g of protein, and 700 mg of magnesium per 100 g (USDA FoodData Central, FDC ID 170148).
• The finished mixture per 100 g is about 523 kcal, 17.5 g of protein, and 21 g of sugars.
• The limiting amino acid in seeds is lysine, and the PDCAAS of hulled seeds is 63-66% (House et al., 2010).
• 15 minutes of work, 3 hours of cooling, up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
What is used to make homemade hemp lip balms?
The base consists of 150 g of peanut butter, 60 g of honey, and 25 g of coconut oil, plus 30 g of unsweetened cocoa and 50 g of hulled hemp seeds. In total, 315 g of mixture, which makes 16 lip balms of about 20 g each. Coconut oil is responsible for solidifying, so it cannot be omitted.
- 150 g of unsweetened peanut or almond butter
- 50 g of hulled hemp seeds
- 60 g of honey (3 tablespoons)
- 30 g kakao bez cukru
- 25 g of unrefined coconut oil (2 tablespoons)
- a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt
- optional: 2 tablespoons of coconut flakes
The solid fat determines whether the mixture will solidify into a block or remain a paste. Coconut oil has about 82.5 g of saturated fatty acids per 100 g (USDA) and solidifies in the refrigerator. Canola and sunflower oils remain liquid.
Do not heat hemp seed oil or use it instead of coconut oil. It does not solidify in the refrigerator and consists of over 80% polyunsaturated fatty acids (Callaway, Euphytica, 2004), which oxidize when heated. This is an oil for cold dishes.
How to make hemp lip balms step by step?
Melt the peanut butter with honey and coconut oil, remove from heat, cool for five minutes, mix in the cocoa and seeds, transfer to a mold, and cool for three hours. Active work takes 15 minutes. You do not need an oven or a mixer, just a pot and a mold.
- Melt the peanut butter with honey and coconut oil in a water bath, stirring for about 3 minutes until smooth.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. The mixture should be warm, not hot.
- Mix in the cocoa, salt, and vanilla, and finally the hemp seeds. Stir until the mixture stops shining and thickens noticeably.
- Transfer the mixture to a 15 by 20 cm mold lined with paper, level it to 1.5 cm, and sprinkle with a tablespoon of seeds.
- Chill for 3 hours in the refrigerator or 45 minutes in the freezer, then cut into 16 squares with a sharp knife.
Safety: Heat the mixture on the lowest burner and stir continuously. Honey burns quickly, and a burnt base becomes bitter.
Check the consistency before pouring into the mold. Place a spoonful of the mixture in the refrigerator for two minutes: it should harden to the consistency of playdough. If it remains soft, add a tablespoon of cocoa.
How many calories and nutrients do hemp lip balms have?
One hundred grams of the finished mixture contains about 523 kcal, 17.5 g of protein, 41.4 g of fat, and 33.2 g of carbohydrates, including 21 g of sugars. We calculated these values by summing the five ingredients of the recipe according to the USDA FoodData Central database. These are not data from the label of a finished product.

Hemp seed protein is often described as complete, but measurements are more cautious. House i in. (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2010) They measured the PDCAAS of hulled seeds at 63-66%, with lysine being the limiting amino acid. The index is calculated based on the needs of children aged 2-5 years according to FAO and WHO, and removing the hull increases this result. The seeds contain all essential amino acids, but they are too low in lysine to match egg protein.
Are hemp bars a healthy snack?
This is a dessert and should be treated as such. One bar weighs about 20 g and provides approximately 105 kcal and 4.2 g of sugars, which is one-fifth of the value from the table. Hemp seeds improve the composition of this snack, but do not turn it into a dietary product.
Our observation from calculations: hemp seeds have omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in a ratio of 3.2 to 1, but in the finished mass, the ratio increases to 7.4 to 1. The reason is quite simple. Peanut butter contributes 12.2 g of linoleic acid per 100 g and practically zero alpha-linolenic acid, thus diluting the seed profile. Callaway reports a range of 2:1 to 3:1 for hemp oil, but this refers to the seeds, not the dessert made from them.
How to store hemp bars and how long are they good for?
In the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to 2 weeks. In the freezer for up to 3 months, taking them out 5-10 minutes before eating. Above 22°C, the mass softens and the bars lose their shape, so only leave a portion on the countertop for now. Do not keep them in the refrigerator door, where the temperature fluctuates the most.
The shelf life is determined by the fat in the seeds. Polyunsaturated fatty acids account for 38.1 g out of 48.8 g of fat in the seeds, which is 78%, and such fats go rancid faster than saturated ones. Bars kept in warmth develop a bitter aftertaste after a few days. Separate them with pieces of baking paper to prevent sticking.
We noticed in tests that the mass cuts cleaner after three hours of cooling than after two. Coconut oil needs time for full crystallization: after two hours, the edges are hard, while the center is still pliable, and the knife crushes the cubes instead of cutting them. If the mass is still pliable after a whole night, re-melt it, add a tablespoon of coconut oil and a tablespoon of cocoa, and cool it again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ile kalorii ma jedna pomadka konopna?
One bar weighs about 20 g and provides approximately 105 kcal, 3.5 g of protein, and 4.2 g of sugars. This is one-fifth of the value from 100 g of the finished mass, calculated from the recipe ingredients according to the database. USDA FoodData Central.
Why don't hemp balms harden?
The most common reason is a lack of solid fat. Coconut oil has about 82.5 g of saturated fats per 100 g and solidifies in the refrigerator, while canola or sunflower oil remains liquid. The second reason is too little cocoa, which binds moisture from the honey.
How long can homemade hemp balms be stored?
In the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks, in the freezer for up to 3 months. The fat from hemp seeds consists of 78% polyunsaturated fatty acids, which spoil faster than saturated fats, so lip balms kept in warmth lose their flavor after a few days.
Can hemp oil be used for lip balms instead of coconut oil?
No. Hemp oil from seeds remains liquid in the refrigerator, so the mass will not set. It is also not suitable for heating, as it consists of over 80% polyunsaturated fatty acids (Callaway, Euphytica, 2004), which oxidize in heat.
Can hemp balms be made without cocoa?
Yes, replace 30 g of cocoa with 20 g of coconut flour or hemp protein. The flavor will be milder and nuttier. Then add an extra tablespoon of coconut oil, as cocoa contributes about 13.7 g of its own fat per 100 g.
If you prefer ready-made, in the category hemp food you will find hemp teas and a fudge with a similar consistency. Hulled seeds or food-grade hemp oil are not currently available in this offer.
