Raw Brownie Balls

Ingredients:

1 1/2 Cups Raw Walnut Halves
1 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
1/4 Cup Cacoa or Cocoa Powder
10 Medjool Dates, pitted

Method:

Grind walnuts in a food processor or high powered blender. Add vanilla, cocoa powder, and dates. Continue processing until a dough-like texture is formed. Scoop out the mixture and roll into bite sized balls. Store in freezer until ready to eat, if so desired.

Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate is a simple pick-me-up for mid-day tiredness. Consider trying 80% cacoa or higher, with a low sugar content for the biggest benefit. Did you know that dark chocolate is actually considered a superfood?
