" show love to all living beings around you and you will be a magnet for a positive life, good karma will always be on your side when you show love"
Second week of January and it’s time for some healthy truffle like energy balls!
These are actually from my new eBook Simple Clean Vegan Lifestyle! so why am I sharing them here? because everyone is trying to be healthy and deserves to have a treat that doesn't hurt their New Years goals! I am actually going to show you 3 recipes this month from my new eBook, so you're probably asking why would I buy the book then? well quite simply, it's just more conveint to have everything in one place for those who actually like to use the recipes on a regular basis! So if you want more simply healthy meal ideas be sure to check out the eBook, if not I hope you enjoy this recipe anyways!
ok, so...These are the BEST snack ever, they give you energy and a lot of nutrition, I think you are going to love them! 😉
Medjool dates are really the star of these energy balls, they give it the sticky truffle like texture and of course the sweetness. Medjool dates are packed full of vitamins and minerals, B6, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, iron, calcium, niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, vitamin A and C JUST TO MANE A FEW! If you want to know more just google them because they are amazing!
I LOVE using Dates as my base for energy balls like this, you may remember my chocolate coconut ones or even the blueberry muffin ones... I just love the versatility and healthy-ness of these things! 😉
anywaysss....
In these Healthy Almond Chocolate Truffle Energy Balls I also added almond butter and cocoa powder. The almond butter is natural creamy unsalted (but I used roasted) creamy almond butter, the only ingredients should be almonds (or roasted almonds) a little salt is ok but make sure it’s not much and make sure there isn’t any other nasty ingredients!
For the cocoa powder I used unsweetened 100% dark chocolate cocoa powder but you can totally swap this for raw cacao or carob powder is you prefer!
These Almond chocolate Truffles are really great for packing in lunches or even putting in your purse for a snack later. They will get soft being out of the fridge, but they won’t melt! If you plan to travel with them you could also make them flat like a bar instead of a ball if that would be easier.
One more thing! Feel free to mix n’ match the flavors, if you don’t like almonds you could use cashew or peanut butter or even a seed butter if you have allergies! Get creative in the kitch my friends! I know you will love these! 😉
