There is a reason why you crave chocolate around your period, because our hormones are asking for it. The vitamin and mineral make-up of cacao and pumpkin seeds create a perfect snack for any time we feel like we need some balancing. Mostly due to the magnesium, iron, manganese and calcium content; these cacao and pumpkin seed protein balls, with the powerful addition of both pre and probiotics, make the perfect hormone balancing snack!
In a blender, add the cacao melts and blend until fine, though still slightly coarse (almost a bread crumb consistency).
Add the remaining ingredients and again blend until a bread crumb consistency. Taste the mix, you can add more ginger, cinnamon sweetness etc, and ensure the flavour is how you like it!
Using a spoon, scoop up some ingredients, place in hand and compress, then roll into balls.
If they are not rolling well and are too crumbly, add more dates.
Roll the balls in a topping of your choice such as desiccated coconut, ground pepitas, groun nuts or cinnamon - or keep them plain! Store in the fridge and enjoy.
