Chocolate Maca Balls
Delicious, easy to make and healthy. Have one or two a day to help satisfy the chocolate/sweet cravings and give yourself a boost of goodness too. These are also really good "mojo" boosters - if you know what I mean!!!
Ingredients
·
1 tablespoon Maca Powder
·
1 tablespoon Organic Natural
Cocoa powder (I like Planet Organic) or cacao

¼ cup smooth pure peanut, macadamia or cashew butter (or sunflower paste for nut free)
·
½ cup desiccated coconut
·
¼ cup dark Agave
·
10 drops sweet leaf vanilla stevia (or vanilla paste)

¼ cup stevia (or honey/maple syrup/agave/rice malt syrup)
·
8 prunes, chopped
·
8 dried apricots, chopped
·
1 banana, mashed
·
¼ cup extra desiccated
coconut
·
¼ cup sesame seeds
Method

In a large bowl combine agave and vanilla stevia
drops.
·
Mix in the banana and peanut butter. Combine
well.
·
Add in the apricots, prunes, desiccated coconut,
maca powder, cocoa, stevia and almond meal.
·
Mix together well.
·
Pour the extra desiccated coconut onto a plate
and the sesame seeds onto a second plate.
·
Roll mixture into balls and then roll each ball
into either the coconut or sesame seeds.
·
Place all balls in an air tight container and
refrigerate for 30 minutes.
·
Enjoy.
Notes
·
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge.
·
For extra flavour, sweetness and a real
chocolate hit add an extra 10 drops of chocolate liquid stevia as well as the
vanilla.
·
Dried fruit can be varied according to personal
preferences.
·
Add crushed nuts and swap smooth for crunchy Pressed
Purity Peanut Butter for a different texture.
·
A beautiful satisfying sweet treat that you can enjoy
for afternoon tea without the guilt!
