Pick of the week....

Holiday time is here which involves many parties, gatherings, and cheer!

Garage Girls Fitness is having a holiday gathering this week after class and will be having some healthy choices to share after a tough workout.

This week's pick, Power Truffles, is a nice treat to bring to a holiday party when you want to share a sweet dessert.



Healthy Chocolate Truffles

Makes 12
15 minutes prep time

ingredients:

2 cups pitted dates
1/4 cup raw cacao powder
1 Tablespoon coconut oil, plus more to coat hands
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cacao nibs, crushed freeze-dried raspberries, matcha powder, or coconuts flakes, or a mix of two or more, for coating

1. Add dates, cacao powder, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt to a food processor.  Blend for 3-5 minutes or until dough is smooth.  If necessary add 1 tablespoon water while processing to help dough come together.

2.  Lightly coat your hands with coconut oil.  Break off a bite-size piece of dough and roll it between your palms into a ball.  Repeat with remaining dough.

3.  Roll each ball in coating.  Store truffles in the refrigerator for up to four weeks.
