To coat:
 
40 grams desiccated coconut
½ level teaspoon ground turmeric
 
  1. In a food processor blend together nuts, seeds, desiccated coconut, turmeric, cinnamon and salt to a fine texture.
  2. Add dates and quickly pulse until it all resembles breadcrumbs. Add vanilla extract and coconut oil, then blend until the whole mixture forms into a ball.
  3. Remove dough from the food processor and hand-roll about 1 tablespoon of it into a walnut sized ball. Repeat with the rest of the mixture. Place in fridge for 30 minutes.
  4. To coat, mix the desiccated coconut and turmeric in a shallow bowl, then roll and toss the balls in the mixture and return to fridge for 1 hour minimum.
  5. Store these little energy and nutrient bombs in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
