Date balls

A quick and easy healthy snack. These yummy bites can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge or freezer. Pop these date balls into a lunch box and you are ready for a guilt-free snack. They give you a great boost when you are feeling a bit peckish or low in energy. 

1. Place nuts, seeds and coconut in a large food processor, fitted with an “S” blade. Process until crumbly.
2. Add in the dates, coconut oil and vanilla extract and process again until a sticky batter is formed.
3. Shape batter into bite-sized balls and roll in coconut. Store date balls in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for an even longer shelf life.

• The added coconut oil will help the date balls to firm up once in the fridge.
• For extra flavour roll in toasted coconut.
• Add 5 – 10 ml cocoa powder for chocolate hit.
• Get the kids to munch on the date balls by rolling them in some hundreds & thousands
