Snack attack! It happens to the best of us. Well, these cacao balls will be your best friends when that 3pm snack attack calls. Jam-packed with energy and superfood goodness, these sweet morsels are great for on-the-go, by your desk at work, or in your fridge at home.
These cacao balls are also SO easy to make! I usually make a batch and store them in the fridge, which will typically last me for a couple of weeks.
Rolling the mixture into balls can be a little time-consuming. If you are strapped for time, you could alternatively press the mixture into a baking paper-lined tray, pop it in the fridge overnight, and then slice it into squares... cacao wonder squares?!
I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do.
Ingredients
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
- ⅓ cup shredded coconut
- A tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup goji berries
- Extra cacao for rolling
Method
- Add the almonds, cashews, pecans / walnuts, coconut and chia seeds into a food processor.
- Whizz until they are a rough crumb texture.
- Now add in the dates, cacao and cinnamon and whizz until the dates are mixed through.
- 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)
- Take a large tablespoon of the mixture and press and mould into a ball.
- Roll in extra cacao powder or keep as they are.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge. 3pm snack attack... take that!
