We wanted to make a quick and fun little blog about one of our favourite homemade plant-based snacks.
This is something we have been making this summer that keeps us fuelled through long shoot days, hikes, or even as a healthy mid-day treat. Packed with protein and only natural ingredients, these plant based balls will have you ball crazy in no time!

1 cup Dates (pitted)
3 tbsp water

* Shredded unsweetened coconut and cacao powder left for the topping at the end.
Directions:
1. In a food processor, grind nuts until they’re finely ground.
2. Pulse in cacao, vanilla extract, maca and salt.
