Ingredients

2 tablespoons raw cacao nibs (available in natural foods stores and online)

1/4 cup organic salt-free raw tahini

1/4 cup hemp seed nut butter (available in natural foods stores and online)

2 tablespoons agave nectar

1 teaspoon organic vanilla

3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 teaspoons Stevia Plus or 2 droppers of vanilla stevia drops (available in natural foods stores and online)

2 teaspoon powdered maca (available in natural foods stores and online)

1/4 cup roasted carob powder

1/2 cup hemp seeds (available in natural foods stores and online)

2 tablespoons protein powder

Preparation

Level: Easy

Servings: 24

Cook Time: 30 min

Ready In: 30 min

In a Vita-Mix or coffee grinder, blend goji berries and cacao nibs to a course powder and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine tahini and hemp butter with agave, vanilla and almond milk, until it makes a batter. Sprinkle in cinnamon, stevia, protein powder and maca. With the back of a plastic spatula, mix batter, pressing in a circular motion against the side of the bowl.

Add carob a bit at a time, working it into the batter with the same motion until fully blended. The mixture now should look shiny and be non-sticky to the touch. Fold in the ground goji berries and raw cacao nibs.

Chill batter for about an hour.

Form a teaspoon of chilled batter into a ball and roll in hemp seeds. Repeat to make about 24 truffles.
