- If you want lose weight or maintain your weight – get enough sleep!
- If you want to look fabulous – get enough sleep!
Yup, I totally know that and teach that. But last week, I had a couple of sleepless nights. I did all my super sleep tapes and relaxations but there was no sleep to be had. Of course the next day I was tired. I needed a pick me up. I don’t drink coffee so that wasn’t an option. So, I whipped these up… (read to the end of the blog to find out if it worked!):
Super Easy Raw Cacao Truffles
Put all ingredients in food processor and blend until thoroughly mixed. Form into balls and enjoy!
- 3 Pitted Dates
- 1 Tablespoon Raw Coconut Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Raw Cacao Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Bee Pollen (optional -it does impart a strong honey flavor, but I wanted the superfood energy hit that bee pollen gives me)
After wizzing them up the truffle mix is crumbly, but form a ball and they'll hold together.

Nina,
You are so inspiring! Now I know what to treat myself with when I need a pick me up. Rolled in coconut flakes really appeals to me.
Thanks also for letting us know the down side of TOO MUCH.
With deep appreciation for your gifts of giving.
