These have been great during my third trimester for a little energy boost and a sweet tasty treat.
RECIPE: (to make 10)
2 cups pitted dates
1 cup coconut shreds
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp ground cinnamon
METHOD:
Cut up the dates and put in a bowl with the chia seeds, cover with warm water (only just cover) and leave for 10-15 minutes, or at least until the water has soaked up. If you’ve accidentally put too much water in you can always add some more chia to soak it up.
(I don’t have a food processor so I mash them with a fork to the consistency I like, if you have a food processor you can get the mixture really smooth.)
Add cinnamon and coconut, mix in thoroughly and mold into balls.
