Anyways! For today’s positivity, I wanted to remind everyone that it is okay to take a rest day from time to time. Enjoying the present moment is something that allows us to stay grounded and maintain a happy self. So don’t forget that there are days where you will not exercise much but just enjoying your self and your time with your loved ones with worth so much more!

This time it will be a clean option for all of us who want to have somewhat of a treat without going the unhealthy and processed route. I like to call these beauties the “healthy wanna be cookie-dough chocolate balls”

Healthy wanna be cookie-dough chocolate balls recipe

I made these chocolate balls with dates, this is a way to make them sweet without adding that addictive processed white sugar that we should all fear…

For me, I used Deglet Noor dates. I was lucky enough to be able to bring some back home with me from Algeria, the country of one of the best dates out there!

    • Depending on the peanut butter you use and the size of your dates, the mixture might be too oily. If so, add another tablespoon of oats and blend to get the perfect consistency.
  3. add in the cacao nibs with the peanut butter mixture and incorporate it using your hands or a wooden spoon, then start rolling your dough into ½ tablespoon balls. Place them on some parchment paper, then place them in the freezer until firm.
