After last weeks kinda long, kinda deep post, I wanted to make sure this week was quick and fun! So here is a recipe I threw together before we headed up to Northern Arizona on a camping trip and trail run!
This was an AWESOME race. Aravaipa Running knows how to put on a great event. Definitely check it out. We did the 13k and thoroughly enjoyed the course.
Mile 3ish of 8ish out on the course.
My favorite part about this recipe is that NO baking is required; which is perfect for those hot summer months. They are also good to curb your sweet tooth, AND a good boost to eat before or after a workout.
Snapchat! haha
Ingredients
16 dates
30 almonds
1 TBSP chia seeds
2 tsp. raw cacao powder
1 tsp. raw maca powder
1 TBSP dried goji berries
2 drops vanilla essence (optional, and not to be confused with vanilla extract)
1 tsp. raw maca powder
1 tsp. raw cacao powder
2 tsp. maple sugar
Instructions
In the order listed above, put the ingredients in a food processor.
Blend until a ball forms, and it all sticks together.
Use a spoon to scoop out the desired amount of dough, and roll into bite-sized balls. I made mine about 3/4" around.
To prevent sticking, roll them in the powder mixture. I just mixed it up in a small ramekin, and rolled them around until coated, then rolled in my hands again to get off the excess and press the powder into the ball.
