Raw Vegan Prune Powerballs

Variety is the spice of life, thus The Wholesome Athlete has brought back into our kitchen a fruit that most of us likely don’t pay much attention to. Prunes get such a bad wrap – maybe it’s because they’re black, shriveled and slimy but in any case, they’re really good for you. These are high in Vitamin A, K, B and Potassium.

Prune Powerballs

• 1 cup pitted soft prunes
• 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
• 1/4 cup dried raisins
• 1/4 cup raw cacao powder
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup dessicated coconut

Optional

• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Combine chopped prunes, nuts, fruit, cacao and cinnamon in your food processor and pulse until combined.

Roll the mixture into little balls and roll on a plate of desiccated coconut to coat them.

Store them in the fridge.

These powerballs are the perfect long ride nutrition, post training recovery snack, or just a great portable, healthy treat to pack for lunch.
