Cinnamon and Chocolate Raw Christmas Balls
SERVES 5
READY IN 3 MINUTES
These little raw balls are a sure winner over the Christmas period.
They are loaded with cinnamon, which is great for fighting off sugar cravings. Cinnamon increases glucose metabolism which helps regulate our blood sugar levels. It slows the emptying of your stomach to reduce that sugar spike and improves the effectiveness of insulin. Not only this but it also enhances our antioxidant defences!
They have been bound using dates which are a great source of iron, potassium, manganese and calcium!
