Ingredients
  • 1.5 tsp maca powder
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or raw cacao nibs
  • 1/2 cup raw almond or cashews
  • 1/4 cup goji berries or dried cranberries
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8-10 soft medjool dates, pit removed
Instructions
  1. Toss all ingredients into a high powder blender or preferably a food processor and blend until crumbly.
  2. Rolls into 1.5 inch balls.
  3. If your medjool dates are dry, I would recommend soaking them for 30 minutes - 1 hour first in warm water.
  4. If the texture is lacking moisture, add a very small splash of water and keep adding until it reaches a texture that clumps nicely into balls.
Notes

Makes 15-18 balls.
Troubleshooting:
1. Batter not forming into balls easily? Add a few more medjool dates.
2. Not sweet enough? Add 1 tbsp of maple syrup.
3. What brand of maca should you buy? See my post above for a link.
