There is nothing like having a sweet treat in the fridge that is healthy and full of goodness.
A true weekly staple in the Feeling Wholesome household for Julian and I, our lovely balls of yummy goodness.
Full of organic nuts, seeds, and dates you can create your own weekly treats in no time at all.
These delicious balls which we fondly name as our power balls due to their quick boost of chocolate, seeds, nuts and maca will also make a beautiful gift filled in a glass jar as a present complete with a homemade gift tag.
Making your own treats in place of sugar laden commercially made foods from the supermarket, will fill you with happiness knowing you have made them with love.
Enjoy.

Food processor
1 cup of mixed nuts, we use walnuts, almonds and cashews

Extra cacao to roll the balls in or blitzed 2 tablespoons of pepitas seeds to make a dust to roll them in, delicious
Method:
In a food processor blitz the nuts but not to a full crumb
Then, blitz the dates with the nuts
Add the cacao, honey or rice malt and blitz again until combined and the mixture is sticking together.
Tip out into a bowl and stir in the add in’s you would like, we love coconut, pepitas and gogi berries
