Our cacao protein bites are packed with scrummy ingredients and nutrients – these no cook, super tasty bites are nutrient dense – you will love them!
So for the ingredients, all of which are readily available in your local supermarket or health food shop…..
Organic Cacao powder – it contains more potassium than bananas, more fibre than oats, more iron than spinach plus boasts lots of magnesium to help to maintain energy levels. Then you’ve got your goji berries – packed with vitamin C and iron; dates – dried and sweet full of fibre and potassium; coconut – packed with vitamins and minerals; pistachios and almonds – full of protein and anti-oxidants – and all of them remain in their raw state so no cooking in this super quick and easy recipe either!
