Chocolate power balls

Chocolate power balls

My first cookbook was called ‘Children Cook.’ It was Israel in the early 80s, and most households had one of those yellow cookbooks. The plethora of illustrations and pictures made it very easy to follow the kid-friendly recipes. Although it wasn’t a very sophisticated book, it is probably the reason I cook today.

Common ingredients at the time included margarine, ready-made sweetened cocoa powder, and a bunch of other overprocessed finds. As a natural-born chocoholic, one of my favorite recipes has always been the ‘chocolate balls,’ a favorite of both the young and the young at heart. Here is my very healthy recipe for chocolate power balls.

Green powder

Hemp

Raw cocoa

Coconut oil

Almond butter

Almond meal

Dates/carob

Coconut flakes

Vanilla

Mix it all up, keep it refrigerated, preferably in a locked box so you don’t finish it all at once.
