Recipe by Dancer Tamara Grimmer
The following recipe is a great snack for between training for instant energy or just as a healthy snack alternative to chips, chocolate and so on… 😉
You can add also other dried fruits such as cranberries since they’re made of dried fruits. The quantity of each ingredient depends on your taste, if you add more nuts, it will become crunchier, if you add more dates more juicy but also more sticky.
Ingredients:
dates; fresh or dried
Figs
almonds or cashews
coconut flakes (optional)
Instructions:
If the dates are very dry, soak them first in water, hot water works faster 😉 If you use sh dates though, you can skip this step!
Cut the figs in smaller pieces pint the dates and fill everything into your food processor. Mix it until it becomes a sticky mass. Now you take it out and form it to balls with your hands, make them small so you have more… 😉 Now you can roll them in coconut flakes, but this step is optional. If you put them into the refrigerator they get a little crunchier which is very tasty as well!
