Add hot sauce to your dinner
There are so many reasons why hot sauce added to your meals - especially your dinner - is beneficial. One great reason is the satiated feeling – it is less likely you’ll over eat.
Programs
Chocolate Balls
10 Medjool dates (pitted)
¾ cup raw cashews
¼ cup raisins (no sugar or sulfites added)
¾ cup coconut cream or coconut milk (if dairy isn’t an issue, organic heavy cream is divine!)
3 tbsp. raw cacao powder
1 ½ tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. vanilla extract (pure with no sugar)
coconut flakes (for coating)
-
Mix all ingredients (excluding the coconut flakes) in a food processor until very smooth with no chunks.
-
Taste mixture and adjust to your liking with cinnamon or cacao powder.
-
Place the mixture in the fridge to chill for 1 hour (it will make it easier to roll the balls).
-
Make small balls with damp hands and roll gently in coconut flakes.
-
Keep refrigerated or frozen.
-
Other options are to add an espresso shot and roll in cacao powder or add orange zest.

Makes about 20 bite-size balls
When I was a kid, I had a cookbook with one very used and stained page. It was a chocolate balls recipe. It had so many ingredients in it that now I wouldn’t dare touch or give my daughter to eat. For one of her birthday parties, I had a desire to re-create these balls, but with more integrity, and without losing the indulgent experience. This is the result.
