Walnut Choc Balls

Do you love truffles but want a healthier, lower-calorie alternative? I’ve got the perfect recipe for you!

These Walnut Choc Balls are quick and easy to make, and they taste absolutely delicious! They’re also packed with healthy ingredients, so you can enjoy a guilt-free treat. My family loves them!

What you need:

  • 1.5 cups of Pitted Dates
  • 3/4 cup of whole raw Almonds
  • 2 scoops of Herbalife Chocolate Shake Mix
  • 2 scoops of Herbalife Cookies & Cream Shake Mix
  • 1 scoop of Cacao Powder (add in more or less)
  • 3 tablespoons of Coconut (desiccated or shredded)
  • 1/2 to 1 cup of Walnuts (alter the amount to suit yourself & also the type of nut)
  • 1/2 cup of Water

What to do:

  1. Soften the dates by soaking them in 1/2 cup of water for at least 10 minutes. Drain the dates, but keep the soaking liquid.
  2. Blitz the almonds in a food processor on their own first, then add in the softened dates and blitz again. Add some of the reserved date soaking liquid and blitz until the mixture is smooth. It can remain slightly chunky.
  3. Add in the shake mix, cacao powder, and coconut, then process further until everything is well combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
  4. Chop the walnuts into small pieces and add them to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
  5. Break the mixture into small chunks and form into balls on a tray. Let them sit for a couple of minutes, then roll them into smooth balls and coat them with extra coconut. I usually make 26–28 balls.
  6. The balls will be quite soft at this stage, so place them in an airtight container and freeze until set. Keep them stored in the freezer and enjoy 1 or 2 whenever you’re in the mood for a yummy yet healthy snack!

Tips:

  • You can mix in 1–2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil to help the mixture set more firmly.
  • Feel free to experiment with different nuts, dried fruits, or just enjoy the plain version.
  • For a nut-free alternative, try using oats, natural oat bran, or coconut flour in place of almonds, and skip the walnuts as well.
