Notes
These healthy balls are easy and quick to make, you can whip them up anytime you have a sweet craving or need an energy boost.
Made with healthy fats with nuts and seeds and healthy sugar with dates, they are an ideal snack before or after a workout.
I like to sneak in a tablespoon or two of raw cacao nibs. You can shape the dough into balls or cut into bars.
Make them ahead of time and keep in fridge or freezer for an instant treat.
