Pepita, Date and Spirulina Balls

I’ve been going through all my old recipes lately and I found this recipe for Pepita, Date and Spirulina Balls. I don’t remember making them, but with only FOUR ingredients, I thought I have to give them another go! They worked out perfectly!

I’ve been snacking on these at work – they’re super healthy, and a great snack when you’re craving something a little less healthy (in my case – chocolate!). I really feel that they help with the chocolate cravings too!

I soak the pepitas before using them to activate the enzymes in the seeds. This helps you digest them easier, and essentially you are then eating a living food. I use medjool dates in this recipe, because they are soft and caramel-like and they require no pre-soaking. If you use regular dates you may have to soak them for up to 30 minutes before you make this recipe.  Spirulina is one amazing super food! I’m not sure I liked the taste when I first tried it, but it definitely grows on you. It’s a great source of protein and has Vitamins A, K1, K2, B12, iron and manganese! Plus helps detox heavy metals and prevent cancer. it So it’s worth incorporating some of this magical stuff into your diet! Read more about the benefits of Spirulina here.
