Date Orange and Coconut Balls
2 cups pitted dates
½ cup warm water
1 cup whole almonds, skin on
1 cup organic rice puffs
½ cup quinoa
¼ cup desiccated coconut
Zest and juice of 1 orange
Shredded coconut, to coat balls
Soak dates in warm water for 10 minutes. Using a food processor place whole almonds and process until the almonds are finely chopped.
Add dates in liquid, rice puffs, quinoa, desiccated coconut, zest and juice of orange. Process until mixture has combined.
Shape teaspoonfuls of this mixture into balls, and then place onto a tray. Repeat this until you have used up all the mixture. Balls should be kept small as this mixture is rich.
Roll balls into shredded coconut and place into a clean, air tight storage jar. Store in the fridge.
