Cocoa Unloose Energy Bites Recipe & Giveaway

So I was going to review the dark chocolate kokosnoot GFB Gluten Free Bites I received inwards the Must Have Box I was sent past times Popsugar but I’m sharing a recipe I created of my ain version instead. I’ve noticed a lot of good for y'all products as well as raw foods role dates every bit a sweetener. Because I bring a nutrient sensitivity to dates as well as can’t swallow them, I sometimes conform recipes as well as role prunes inwards house of dates. 

Even if y'all bring no issues amongst dates, there’s practiced argue to select prunes instead. While prunes as well as dates are most the same inwards damage of iron, fiber as well as protein, when it comes to sugar, carbohydrates as well as calories, prunes are lower. Prunes are too significantly higher inwards antioxidants including vitamin K as well as vitamin A. A number of studies show consumption of prunes non entirely helps preclude osteoporosis but genuinely reverses os loss thank y'all to a combination of os edifice calcium, magnesium, phosphorous as well as copper. 

I’ve ever loved dried fruit, it’s high inwards calories as well as thus I role it every bit entirely every bit a care for or inwards recipes. To brand my version I closely adapted the Date Coconut Energy Balls recipe from Ellie Krueger published inwards the Washington Post, substituting the dates amongst prunes. I too used lemon instead of orangish as well as since the Gluten Free Bites had cocoa, I added unopen to of that every bit well.
