Recipe: Homemade raw cacao, peanut, date & coconut balls

Wean yourself off peanut M&Ms with these deliciously tasty little bliss balls


















Homemade raw cacao, peanut, date & coconut balls
.... a little bit of bliss in every bite

Makes 20

2 cups natural muesli (such as Carman's Natural Bircher Muesli) or quinoa flakes (gf option)
1 cup pitted dates
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 raw pecans or almonds
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp raw cacao powder
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp water
1 shot espresso
Extra shredded coconut for rolling

Process muesli, dates, coconut, pecans, peanut butter, cacao, honey and vanilla in the food processor until they resemble breadcrumbs. Add water and coffee shot and process until it starts to come together. Add a little extra water if necessary.

Roll into small balls in your hands and finish by rolling in extra shredded coconut. Refrigerate until chilled and serve with hot cuppa. Bliss.

These balls contain a good source of low GI carbsprotein, good fats and antioxidants. The hardest part will be sticking to 1-2 balls at each sitting!
