Chocolate Date & Cacao Bliss Balls

Makes 8 balls
Serves 4 (2 balls per serve) 
3g Creatine Daily+ per serve
15 min + chill

Ingredients

• 200g pitted Medjool dates (approx. 10)
• 80g almond meal
• 40g rolled oats
• 20g raw cacao powder
• 2 tbsp (32g) natural almond butter
• 4 scoops BHV Co Creatine Daily+™
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt
• 1–2 tbsp water, as needed
• Optional swap: reduce dates to 150g and add 30g vanilla protein powder

Method

1. If your dates are firm, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain well.
2. Add the dates, almond butter, vanilla and salt to a food processor. Blitz to a thick paste.
3. Add the 4 scoops of Creatine Daily+ with the dry ingredients - almond meal, oats and cacao - and pulse until the mixture comes together and starts to clump. Adding it with the dry ingredients is what gets it evenly distributed, so every ball carries the same amount.
4. If the mixture is too dry to hold together, add water a teaspoon at a time. Too wet, add a little more almond meal.
5. Roll into exactly 8 balls, about 50g each.
6. Roll in extra cacao, desiccated coconut or crushed pistachio if you like.
7. Chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for 3 months.
