Ingredients

Quick info

Servings: 12 bites
Prep time: 15 minutes + 1 hour chilling
Total time: 1 hour 15 min

Ingredients list

150 g Medjool dates (pitted, soaked 10 min in hot water)
50 g rolled oats
30 g raw cacao powder
30 g pumpkin seeds
20 g almond butter or peanut butter
1 tablespoon KiKi HealthMaca powder
1 tablespoon cacao nibs
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: 1 scoop of protein powder for extra protein

Preparation

Put all ingredients (except cacao nibs) in a food processor.
Pulse and mix until a sticky mass forms. If it's too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water.

Shape 12 bites (approx. 3 cm diameter) with your hands.
Place on a plate, chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator (lasts 1 week).

Why this recipe fits

Rauwe cacao = magnesium-koning (~500 mg/100 g). Pompoenpitten ook rijk aan magnesium. Dadels leveren langzame natuurlijke suiker. Maca is adaptogeen voor energie en uithouding. Perfect als middagsnack voor wie cafeïne wil minderen.
