GF, VGN, RSF
20 mins
Makes about 28 balls
  • 2½ cups pitted dates
  • 1 cup natural almonds
  • ½ cup raw cashews
  • ½ cup pecans or walnuts
  • 5 heaped tbs cacao powder
  • 2 tbs chia seeds
  •  cup shredded coconut
  • A tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup goji berries
  • Extra cacao for rolling 

Method

  1. Add the almonds, cashews, pecans / walnuts, coconut and chia seeds into a food processor.
  2. Whizz until they are a rough crumb texture.
  3. Now add in the dates, cacao and cinnamon and whizz until the dates are mixed through.
  4. Next add in the goji berries and pulse for a few seconds until just mixed through. (The mixture should still be crumbly but will come together nicely when pressed in your hands)
  5. Take a large tablespoon of the mixture and press and mould into a ball.
  6. Roll in extra cacao powder or keep as they are.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. 3pm snack attack... take that!
