Cacao Delight Energy Bites

A healthy twist on the classic Swedish chocolate ball, these Energy Bites are nutrient-packed, naturally sweet, and irresistibly delicious. Perfect for a quick snack or dessert!

Ingredients (20 balls):

• 300g almond meal
• 100g shredded coconut
• 120g dates (soaked and pitted)
• 150g rolled oats
• 30g Cacao Delight Powder
• 20g cacao nibs (optional, for a crunchy texture)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Dates:
   Soak the dates in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften. Drain and set aside.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
   In a blender, combine the almond meal, shredded coconut, rolled oats, and Cacao Delight Powder. If using cacao nibs, stir them in afterwards. Set aside in a bowl
3. Blend the Wet Ingredients:
   Blend the softened dates into a paste. Add a splash of water if needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
4. Combine and Roll:
   Gradually mix the date paste into the dry ingredients. Use your hands to knead the mixture until it comes together into a firm, sticky dough. If the mixture feels too dry, add a tiny bit of water or plant-based milk.
5. Shape into Balls:
   Scoop out small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls. For an extra touch, roll the balls in additional shredded coconut or cacao powder.
6. Chill and Serve:
   Place the balls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Enjoy as a healthy snack, dessert, or post-workout treat!
