GINGER & DATE
PROTEIN BALLS
Chiropractor service now available at
LOTUS WELLBEING CENTRE
with Ashley Browne!
Do you suffer from
stress, tension or
anxiety?
Do you suffer from
back or neck pain?
These protein balls are so easy to make,
and better still taste terrific. In our house
they are perfect for a quick snack to keep
you going until the next meal. The dates
in them provide a welcome sweetness,
and are very fibre rich, and full of iron,
potassium and calcium. The almonds
are also full of fibre, protein and valuable
nutrients.
I use medjool dates as they are very soft
and in my opinion, the tastiest kind, but
you could use any you prefer.
Do you suffer from
sleep disorders or
wake up tired and
cranky?
Are you stiff and
sore?
Feel like you’re 20 years older than
you actually are?!

Ingredients
Steps
◊ 2 cups of plain almonds
1. Place all the ingredients into a food processer (the
nutribullet also works), and mix until it all becomes a
smooth dough like ball.
◊ 1 cup of dates
◊ 2 tablespoons of blackstrap
molasses
◊ 1 teaspoon of fresh minced
ginger
◊ 1 teaspoon of all spice
◊ 1 teaspoon of vanilla
◊ 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
◊ Shredded coconut if you
would like to roll your balls
in it.
2. Take the “dough” out of the processor and using wet
hands, make small balls about 2 or 3 cm round.
3. If you would like to roll them in the coconut this is the
time....put some cocnut onto a piece of baking paper and
roll away.....
4. Now put the balls into a sealed container to store in
the fridge. Put a little baking paper between layers so
they don’t stick together.
5. Last step...make sure you take at least one out into
the sun with a cup of ginger tea for a well earned break.
6. Enjoy.
