Indulgent tahini and cacao protein balls

There is always I need for a yummy chocolate based recipe. These delicious cacao protein balls are a favourite with friends, family and clients. Not only do they taste superb, they are a healthy glow giving indulgence.

Raw cacao is an excellent source of minerals including selenium, magnesium and chromium. It is also full of anti-inflammatory flavonoids and antioxidants. 

The recipe includes deliciously creamy tahini, chia seeds for a protein and omega 3 hit and antioxidant rich almond flakes. These cacao balls of joy are a sweet, chocolately and healthy treat.

Ingredients 

2 tbsp tahini

1 tsp vanilla 

2 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp almond flakes

Pinch sea salt

1 tbsp coconut oil

2 tbsp cacao powder

1 cup pitted dates

Method

Add all the ingredients to a blender.

Blitz until the ingredients are combined. This may take a few minutes. The ingredients will begin to form a large ball in the blender.

Scoop out 3cm sized amounts with an ice cream scoop or a tablespoon. On a lined baking tray, start to roll into ball shapes.

Place in the fridge for an hour before serving.

Enjoy.
