Whilst culinary indulgence is accepted, in fact encouraged around the Christmas period, for those who are looking to eat a little healthier this year the chia seed recipes, particularly the recipe for Bellisimo Balls, may do the trick.
Makes 15 – 20 balls
Preparation time: 15 mins
What You’ll Need:
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 250g almonds
- 125g oat flour
- 125g quinoa flakes
- 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
- 1 fresh date
- 185gm maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 250g desiccated coconut
- 60g Chia seed (black and white) for garnish
What To Do:
- Mix all the ingredients together in a food processor until they are chunky, being careful not to over blend; the mixture should come together without being too smooth.
- Roll the mixture into medium sized balls and coat them with the desiccated coconut, and chia seeds
- put the balls in the fridge until they set
