One of the hardest things about trying to be healthy is the innate feeling that you\u2019re depriving yourself. Who doesn\u2019t fantasize about a huge ooey gooey banana split or one chunky slice of delicious carrot cake during that mid-afternoon slump? <\/span><\/p>\n

Since beach season is literally just around the corner, and we aren\u2019t quite ready to go completely snack-free, here at <\/span>MILLE<\/span><\/i> we\u2019ve decided to share one of our favourite, super-easy (but ridiculously healthy) snacks with you. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients (prep 25 minutes)<\/b><\/h3>\n

2 cups of dates<\/span><\/p>\n

1 cup oats<\/span><\/p>\n

1 cup chia seeds<\/span><\/p>\n

2 tbsp coconut oil<\/span><\/p>\n

A handful of walnuts<\/span><\/p>\n

Coconut flakes for decoration<\/span><\/p>\n

Preparation<\/b><\/h3>\n

First, prepare the granola by mixing the oats, coconut oil, chia seeds and the walnuts in a bowl.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, spread the mixture on a parchment and cook it in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes until the flakes are golden then set aside to cool off.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blend the dates in a food processor then add the mixture to the granola and mix together. Make sure all the granola flakes are incorporated in the dates\u2019 dough.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve finished mixing, start rolling the mixture in to balls about one and a half inch large and then gently roll them in to the coconut flakes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Freeze in a hermetic container up to 5 months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Top Tip:<\/strong> you can put the balls in cupcake holders to avoid them to sticking together.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
