Dessert Recipes

By: Chris Freytag, CPT


These date cacao truffles with fermented Maca powder are the perfect little bites when you’re looking for a sweet treat. With no added sugar, they’re naturally sweetened with dates and filled with other good-for-you ingredients like oats, cacao powder and almond butter. Plus, they take just a few minutes and could not be easier to make; simply throw the ingredients in your food processor, roll into balls and refrigerate for an easy bite when hunger strikes or as a post-dinner treat.

Never heard of Maca? Maca root is a member of the cruciferous family and considered one of the world’s natural “super foods.” It’s been used for centuries as a natural health supplement, and New Chapter’s Fermented Maca Booster Powder taps into that centuries-old wisdom with a powder supplement that promotes energy, endurance, and recovery support.* Its unique 2-step fermentation process combines the power of probiotics with the natural health benefits of Maca root, for a powder that gives a healthy boost to any recipe. We also happen to love that New Chapter’s Fermented Maca Booster Powder is 100% Vegan, Gluten-Free, and USDA Certified Organic. You can purchase New Chapter’s Fermented Maca Powder from their website, here.

These perfect little dessert bites are made with dates, oats, cacao powder, maca powder for a nutritional powerhouse that tastes like dessert!
