Method

Place the cashew nuts, oats, cacao powder and salt in a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add the dates and water and process until the mixture forms a ball.
Add a teaspoon more water if the mixture is too dry, or a sprinkle of oats if the mixture is too moist. You want to be able to roll into a ball.
Using damp hands, roll into 10 balls and then into the topping of your choice. Place in the fridge to set.

Top Tips

Options to roll your protein balls in are cacao powder, coconut, chai seeds, cocoa nibs.
