Ingredients:
Base mix
- 1 cup Chantal Organics Organic Quick Rolled Oats
- 8 Medjool dates, or 1 cup chopped dates
- 1 ½ cups desiccated coconut
- ¼ cup ground almonds or LSA (or a combination of both)
Flavour variations:
Goji and lemon
- 3 Tablespoons Chantal Organics Hulled Tahini
- 1 lemon, juice and zest
- 2 Tablespoons Matakana Superfoods Goji Berry Organic Powder
- Sesame seeds
Blackcurrant and sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup frozen berries, defrosted
- ¼ cup Chantal Organics Almond Nut Butter
- 2 Tablespoons ROAR Organic Sunflower Activated
- 1 sachet (10g) Viberi Organic New Zealand Blackcurrant Powder
Barley grass, hemp and banana
- ¼ cup TOP Hemp Original Pata
- ¼ cup mashed banana
- 1 tablespoon Chantal Organics Organic Hemp Hearts
- 2 Tablespoons ROAR Organic Pepitas Activated
- 1 Tablespoon BioBalance Certified Organic Barley Grass Powder
Method:
- To make the base mix, add the oats to a food processor and blitz into a fine crumb. Remove from the blender and set aside.
- De-seed the dates and add them to the food processor until they form a sticky paste (if using dried dates soak them in warm water until soft before processing). Break up the date paste with your hands and add it back into the blender.
- Add half of the desiccated coconut to the food processor with the dates and blend until the dates are well distributed throughout the coconut.
- Add date coconut mixture into a bowl and combine with LSA/almond meal, the remaining desiccated coconut and the oat crumb. Mix well.
- To make the different flavour variations, divide up your base mixture into separate bowls and add inadditional nuts, seeds, fruit, fruit juice and nut seed butters.
- Roll each mixture into balls. Then, store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 7 days (or freeze and defrost before enjoying).
