Ingredients

• 1.5 Cups Raw unsalted almonds

• 1 Cup dried dates

• 2 Tbs Chia Seeds 

• 3 Tbs Cacao Powder

• Desiccated Coconut (optional)

Method

1. Soak dates in 1/2 cup of boiling water and set aside for 5-10 mins 

2. Meanwhile, blitz your nuts in the food processor/ blender until they are well crushed

3. Add the dates + 2 Tbs of the date water, chia seeds and cacao powder and blitz again. (You might need to scrap down the sides a bit and blend again).

   (You also might need a little extra of your date water to get it to come together)

4. Roll into balls and coat in coconut

5. Store them in the fridge for up to 7 days or in the freezer for a quick grab n go snack

Variation options:

1. Use a mix of raw unsalted nuts and seeds (cashews are great and sunflower and pepita seeds are great for a nut free option)

2. Add an extra 2 Tbs of Flaxseeds for some extra fibre (and phytoestrogens to support your Oestrogen levels)

3. Replace the Cacao powder with cinnamon and ginger for a spiced version

4. Roll in sesame seeds or more cacao powder

5. Add 1/2 Cup of Oats for a higher carb to protein ratio
