Cacao, Orange & Almond Christmas Truffles
“These nourishing truffles combine healthy fats, protein, minerals and antioxidants to support energy levels and overall health. Dates add a natural sweetness and are a good source of gut-loving fibre. Rich in magnesium, these truffles will encourage relaxation, calm the nervous system and support sleep, while the vitamins, minerals and healthy fats in almond butter are essential for hormone health,” says nutrional therapist Alexa Mullane.
