If you have a sweet tooth but you don’t want to indulge in a “naughty” snack, then this recipe is just for you!! I found this recipe online while I was setting up my Daniel Fast Recipe document and these are delicious. Now, my photo here doesn’t look great – I must admit 🙂 But trust me they taste amazing. I didn’t take a lot of care in having all the balls the same size and I was a bit rushed when I made them on the day. And to be honest, I just wanted to eat them as soon as possible. And that was the fun of it. They didn’t have to be perfect to be enjoyed !!

Turmeric Snack Bites
Ingredients: (makes 10-12 balls)
- ½ cup (70g) walnuts
- ½ cup (70g) unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup (about 8 pitted) medjool dates, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions:
- Add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor, like a Vitamix for example, and pulse until the dates and walnuts are broken up into small pieces and the mixture sticks together. If your mixture is too dry add a couple more dates. You may need to stop to scrape the sides down occasionally.
- Transfer the mixture to a small bowl for easier rolling. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll into little balls.
- Optional: Roll the small balls in shredded coconut.
- Store these in the fridge for up to a week.
