Hemp and macadamia bliss balls

Great with a cup of tea and packed with goodness, these treats are easy to make in a food processor. Process 3 cups of roasted macadamias, 3 tablespoons of vanilla protein powder, 1 tablespoon of cacao and a pinch of ground cinnamon in a food processor. Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and 16 dates then process again until the mix starts to come together. Add 1-2 teaspoons of water if needed so that mixture forms a soft ball. Remove from the food processor and form into balls. Roll in coconut, goji berries or cacao and store in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
