These are really simple, and incredibly tasty. Not only that, but they’ll keep in the fridge (in a sealed container) for about a week, so it you make up a batch on a Monday, you’ll have snacks on hand for when you need a bit of a lift. Best of all? They are made of healthy ingredients such as dates, cashews, walnuts, maca and raw chocolate!
Makes: 12 truffles
Ingredients
- ½ cup cashews, soaked 2-4 hours
- ½ cup walnuts, soaked 2-4 hours
- 8 large medjool dates, pitted
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons Sprout Living Chocolate Maca Protein Powder
- 2 tablespoons cacao nibs
- about 2 tablespoon cacao powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the cashews and walnuts and transfer them to a food processor along with the dates. Process until well incorporated.
- With the motor running, slowly add the melted coconut oil. Blend again until very smooth.
- Add the Chocolate Maca protein powder and puree until completely incorporated. Add cacao nibs and pulse a few times until mixed together.
- Transfer to a small bowl, cover, and refrigerate for one hour until the truffle dough is hard enough to roll into balls.
- Roll into balls about 1 tablespoon in size, coat in cacao powder, and enjoy!
- Store in the refrigerator.

Maca is incredible – you’ll find it in most health food shops in powdered form, and it smells almost caramel-ey. In addition to tasating delicious, it’s also an amazing stamina-enhancer, an aphrodisiac (score), a mood-leveller (great for hormonal imbalances, menopause, anxiety and depression), and an intense energy-booster.
