Time for another clean food recipe because I’m enjoying this stuff so much at the moment. I’ve mostly given up chocolate, biscuits & co, without even making a conscious effort to do it. But a handful of nuts or a quick smoothie for a snack just make me feel so much better – especially on workout days. And even more so if cacao is involved. Cacao makes everything better…
So here’s my new favourite snack format: blissballs!
NUT CHOCOLATE ENERGY BALLS
100g almonds (soaked in water overnight and rinsed)
150g mixed nuts (soaked in water overnight and rinsed)
10 dates
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp cacao
4 tbsp almond milk (or any other nut milk)
1 tbsp coconut oil (optional)
Coconut flakes, to roll
- Put everything in the food processor and blend until you have a smooth paste. (Or, if you prefer a bit of crunch, stop blending before it gets too smooth.)
- Refrigerate for half an hour or so; this will make the mixture easier to roll.
- Shape into balls and roll them in coconut flakes.
- Bliss out on blissballs!
Stay tuned for more blissballs – I’m on a roll with these babies 😉
