These make a quick dessert or brilliant mid afternoon snack. Some people prefer them with dates, but prunes have a lower GI, so are better for weight loss. Plus, by adding nuts we're decreasing the insulin spike from the sugar hit. They're fun to make, so if you have a family, get your kids involved.
1. Combine chopped prunes, pecans, goji berries, cacao, cayenne pepper and cinnamon in a bowl and mix well.
2. Roll the mixture into little balls and roll on a plate of desiccated coconut to coat them.
3. Store them in the fridge. These last for weeks, but I'm sure they'll get gobbled up sooner than that. Plus they make great gifts.
If you don't like pecan's, replace them with your favourite nut - just make sure it's raw.
