Our Founder and Nutritionist Rhian Stephenson often makes these for her kids, and they’re always a big hit. They’re quick and easy to prepare, and work as a naturally sweet snack that still delivers solid nutrition – each ball contains 2g of fibre and 2.6g of protein.
They’re great for travelling, as a dessert, or for long days out when the kids are constantly on the go. 💫
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup walnuts
1/2 cup cashews
1/4 cup toasted buckwheat
12 medjool dates
3 tbsp raw cacao
1/2 tsp vanilla
4 tbsp ground almonds (optional)
1 tbsp water
1 tsp coconut oil (optional)
Desiccated coconut (optional)
METHOD:
1. Pulse the nuts in a food processor until crumbly. Add dates, cacao, water, and vanilla and pulse again.
2. Take a little and try to press it together - if it feels a little too crumbly, add the coconut oil or alternatively, you could add another date.
3. This recipe makes 15 balls. Roll them in coconut and store in the fridge or freezer.
