These Chocolate Date Truffles are:
- naturally sweetened with dates, which can help with constipation, anemia and intestinal disorders.
- a good source of protein.
- contain coconut flakes, which are full of healthy fat, support heart health, and aid in healthy weight loss.
These nutritious truffles are a much healthier snack then packaged chocolate bars, which are filled with refined sugar, artificial flavors, and preservatives. You can store them in the freezer and take one out whenever you need a quick snack.
