I never really liked dates on their own. However I like the thought of date balls. Especially in this naughty combination with cocoa and chocolate nibs!
Maca powder is supposed to be superfood. The packet caught my eye at Wellness Warehouse recently. It seems maca is made from a root which grows in the Andes and has s whole range of health benefits (check out this link http://www.superfoods.co.za/maca.htm for more information on maca). So when I saw the suggestion to whizz the powder into date balls I had to give it a try.
Ingredients for around 25 small balls:
2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder
1 tablespoon of maca powder
2 tablespoons of dark chocolate chips
1.5 tablespoons of cocoa nibs
2 tablespoons of ground almonds
2 tablespoons of raw whole almonds
3 tablespoons of dried goji berries
10 pitted dates
A pinch of vanilla powder
This recipe is super easy! All ingredients go together into the kitchen machine (small bowl) and after a fair amount of long pulses a sticky paste is formed. The paste will be rolled into balls and you done!
If you manage not to eat all balls immediately they should be stored in one layer in a closed container in the fridge.
