Healthy Addiction Recipe - Chocolate Truffle Balls

Ok these are my highly addicting AMAZIN-BALLS...lol  If you crave sweets and/or chocolate, this is for you! These are guilt free and can be made to be gluten free, GMO free, PALEO, and Raw Vegan. I use oats in this recipe but you can substitute with something else. 

I made these to help nursing mommas have more nutritious snacks that could help increase their milk production as well. 
However these are great snacks for anyone. 
All you need is a food processor and the ingredients listed below. 
You can add or subtract ingredients with what you have at home. This is just what was in my pantry so I am trying to use it up. You can also add your favorite protein powder/meal replacement powder into the mix and have some energy/protein snacks. This recipe is pretty flexible as long as you get a consistency you can roll into balls at the end.

1. Put 30 pitted dates into FP (food processor).

2. Put 2 large tbsp of Hemp Seeds in FP.


3. Put 2 large tbsp of Unsweetened Dried Coconut in FP.


4. Put 1 large tbsp of Chia Seeds in FP.


Put 2 large tbsp of Goji Berries in FP.


5. Put 1/2 cup of Oats in FP. (You can use nuts instead)


6. Put 2 large tbsp of Cocoa Powedr in FP.
7. Put 2 large tbsp of Agave Syrup in FP. (Could use honey, maple syrup, or molasses)
8. Put 1 tsp of vanilla extract. (or any other extract)/ you can add spices too, like cinnamon. 


9. Put 1 large tbsp scoop of Coconut Oil in FP.


10. Process Away... for about 1-2 minutes, you can stop and pulse it too.


11. Should come together like a dough. 



12. Roll into balls.


13. I got 26 balls from this batch... so a roughly 2 dozen yield.
