These bites are naturally sweetened with medjool dates, which means no added processed sugars or unnatural flavours.
Medjool dates, also known as the healthiest natural sweetener are packed full of fibre, vitamins and minerals, boasting remarkable health benefits.
The bites are also made using four of our favourite health-promoting spices; ginger, cinamon, clove and nutmeg.
You will also see almonds in the ingredients list. Almonds are a high source of dietary fibre, antioxidants and monounsaturated fatty acids (the healthy kind of fat). Almonds are also said to contain good amounts of Vitamin E and Riboflavin. Trace minerals such as Magnesium, Manganese and Calcium are also present.

Set aside.
You can have this mixture left a little chucky if you like that nutty crunch!
2. Combine dates, apricots, raisins and orange zest in blender on high.
This should form a paste like consistency.
Add some orange juice if more liquid is needed.
3. Add blended almonds, coconut, cacao, allspice, ginger and sea salt.
Blend on Medium until it forms a dough like consistency.
4. Empty mixture out of blender and start forming small bite sized balls.
Roll this with your hands.
