THIS IS THE SECOND POST FOR OUR SEMINAR ON SATURDAY 13 JULY @10:00am PST - REGISTRATIONS CLOSE ON 12 JULY AT 11:00PM PST

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
