Personally I like to use all organic ingredients and these balls are great as a snack to give you a boost mid-afternoon or whenever you need it!

Note about cacao powder – I always source the Arriba Nacional variety as this is nutrient rich as opposed to CCN51 that is fast grown cacao to satisfy demand but does not have the properties of established cacao trees. As with so many of these nutrient rich foods you need to be wary of hybrid forms that come about because they are faster to grow, resistant to disease when farmed and consequently far less nutritional. It pays to do your homework.
