Eating healthy does not mean your diet only consists
of foods that slowly turn you into a rabbit. If you have the right recipes
you can make treats that are delicious and super good for you! This recipe idea
is from the book Powerfood by Rens
Kroes.
These chocolate, date balls are so freaking delicious.
There are no words to describe how good they taste. And bonus: they are made with
healthy ingredients and are super easy to make! I changed up the measurements from
the recipe in the book, because I wanted to make a small portion.
So what do you
need?
- 10
pitted dates
- 2 handfuls
of mixed nuts ( I used almonds, walnuts and cashew nuts)
- A teaspoon
of chia seed
- A teaspoon
of flax seed
- 40 gr
raw dark chocolate or two tablespoons of raw cacao powder
- A tablespoon
of coconut oil
- Shredded
coconut
All you need to do is mix the ingredients, except the
shredded coconut, in a food processor until it has a fine consistency. Then
expect things to get messy when you take a bit of the date/nut mixture and roll
it into a small ball. After that you roll it into the shredded coconut and put
it on a plate. Repeat this until there is no date/nut mixture left. Put the
date balls in the fridge for about 45 minutes and they are ready to eat! YUM!
