Chia Chocolate Protein Bites
Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 0 mins | Total: 20 mins | Quantity: 10 - 12 balls
Ingredients
- 10 dates
- 140g (1 cup) cashew nuts
- 2 tblsp Hodmedods Chia Seeds
- 3 tblsp goji berries
- 1 tblsp cacao powder
- 1 tblsp hemp protein powder (optional but recommended for an extra protein boost)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Grated zest of 1 large orange
Instructions
- Remove the stones from the dates and put into a food processor with the remaining ingredients (see note)
- Pulse until the nuts are well chopped and the mixture has become quite sticky and holds together when squished with your hands
- Roll into bite sized balls then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Enjoy chilled from the fridge or at room temperature
Notes
- If your dates aren't very fresh they'll still become sticky with some extra whizzing in the food processor, or you can soften them in some boiling water before draining and adding to the food processor.
