Good Afternoon! I hope this finds you well. I have had a lovely morning enjoying the sunshine at the park with my twins and some friends. They are now resting (they don’t like to have a daytime sleep much these days) and watching their favourite movie at the moment “The Lion King” …. I am off to run around and get orders done and thought before I do I should post these recipes up incase you missed them on Facebook.
Today I have 3 versions of a yummy recipe for you. They have been such a hit in our home, perfect for afternoon snacks for me , after dinner snacks for hubby and school treats for my big girls (the nut free version).
Date and Maca Balls
In a food processor place: 110g slivered almonds, 1 cup dates, 4 heaped tblspns macadamia nut spread (you can swap this for peanut / nut butter of your choice), 1-3 heaped tspns Maca powder (depends how much you like it!), 1 heaped tspn drinking chocolate, 1 tspn vanilla essence, 1/2 tspn cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Blitz for 1 minute. Use your hands to form teaspoon size balls and store in the fridge.

Kids Healthy School Balls – NUT FREE
