Sweet and healthy raw protein balls

The best thing about protein balls is that ingredients can easily be interchanged based on preference/tolerance. I like this combination because if I close my eyes it ALMOST tastes as if I am eating chocolate. As well as that, all of the ingredients are fairly healthy so there is very little guilt involved. 

SWEET AND HEALTHY RAW PROTEIN BALLS
7 Medjool dates
3 tbsp goji berries
3 tbsp raw cocoa butter
1 tbsp Camu Camu powder
1/2 cup raw unsalted macadamias
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
1/2 cup coconut (shavings or desiccated)
1 tsp honey

1. Pit and roughly chop the dates
2. Put all ingredients into a blender and blitz to combine
3. Roll into bite-sized balls and refrigerate

Enjoy in moderation ❤️

Ingredient information (based on advice by SIGHI)
- No advice is provided for Camu Camu powder. Compatibility may differ between individuals
- Cocoa butter is rated 0 but also has a notation that it is "mostly well tolerated"
- Honey is rated 0 but it is noted that it naturally contains benzoic acid (which is rated 2)
All other ingredients are rated 0 without caveats
  
0 - Well tolerated, no symptoms expected at usual intake 
1 - Minor symptoms, occasional consumption of small quantities is often tolerated 
2 - Incompatible, significant symptoms at usual intake 
3 - Very poorly tolerated, severe symptoms

Hot tips!
🔥 If the mixture is too wet, simply add more of a dry ingredient such as coconut
🔥 If the mixture is too dry, add more dates
🔥 Remove or add ingredients as required based on taste or personal preference
🔥 For faster rolling, shape the mixture into a long, skinny log and cut into pieces first
🔥 Medjool dates are fresh, not dried which makes them the preferred variety
