Ingredients:
230g dates
90g chia Seeds
60g raw almonds sliced or chopped RAW almonds are fine too
3 tablespoons cocoa
pinch of salt optional
To Coat
1 tbsp coconut oil
1/4 cup desiccated coconut optional
2 tbsp freeze-dried berry powder
How to prepare
Add all the ingredients into the processor and mix on low speed for about 2 minutes (stop to scrape down the sides if needed) until the ingredients come together to form a “dough”.
Process for another 2 – 3 minutes if needed to form the dough.
If the dough is not coming together (if your dates were too dry for example), you can add a little water or coconut oil – a teaspoon at a time, to get a dough like consistency.
Turn the sticky “dough” out in to a bowl. Use oil coated hands to fold the dough into one big piece.
Roll the “dough” in to small 4cm balls. You can use a small, oiled cookie scoop to portion out the dough, or use well oiled hands (preferably with coconut oil).
Optional – roll the smooth chocolate chia bliss balls in the coconut or the freeze-dried fruit powder to coat. To avoid sticky fingers, you can place the chia bliss balls in a plastic bag along with the freeze-dried fruit powder, then seal the bag and shake until the bliss balls are evenly coated.
Store in an airtight container for a few days. These can be kept in the fridge, but will then get less soft.
