Ingredients
40 Dates
1 C Walnuts
1 C Lemon Juice (with the pulp)
1/2 C Cranberry (dried, no sugar added)
1/4 C Chia Seed (ground)
2 TBSP Raw Cacao
3 tsp Strawberry (dehydrated powder*)
2 tsp Cinnamon Spice
1 tsp Vanilla Spice
*dehydrated strawberry not shown in photo above
Guidance
Place the dates in your food processor
Blend/Mix until it forms a 'date ball'
Place the 'date ball' in a large bowl
Guidance
Juice the lemons (include the pulp)
Add Cinnamon, Raw Cacao, Vanilla and Dehydrated Strawberry powder
Mix well and add to your food processor
Guidance
Blend/Mix the walnuts, ground chia and cranberries with the lemon juice in your food processor
Guidance
Add this mixture to the large bowl containing the 'date ball' and mix by hand to ensure an even consistency
Allow to sit for 15 minutes for the chia to 'set' and thicken
Guidance
Roll into balls with your hands and then place in the refrigerator to chill and continue to 'set' - the chia seed will continue to thicken and the balls will firm up a bit
You can freeze the balls or simply store them in the refrigerator - the colder they get, the thicker and more 'set' they become
