1 tsp ground ginger
Pinch of nutmeg
1 tbsp blackstrap molasses
30g Pulsin Vanilla Whey Protein
Pinch of salt
1 tsp cinnamon
Directions
- Blend together all ingredients in your food processor to form a thick dough that is soft and holds together when you press it between your fingers. You can add a touch of water if necessary to make the dough a little softer. The result will vary depending on how soft your dates are!
- Roll the mixture into 15 - 16 balls. Store in the fridge for up to one week in a seal tight container.
- You could also coat these in chocolate for more of a truffle vibe!
