Fitness Food And Style Friday Recap and chocolate truffles
Hello there.
This has been a full on week. What week isn't though, huh? Last nights movie fundraiser Now You See Me was a sellout! I was over the moon with over 200 people there, my eyes welled up and I started to choke up when I opened up the night. The biggest thank you to all the staff at the Regent Cinemas Ballarat for supporting my ride and providing such an awesome venue!

I had to take this opportunity and do my #richardbransonproject picture. We are finalising the video and sending it off to Richard Branson ASAP. I was so grateful everyone participated and I wish I took this with the panoramic view so you could see the impact. It was amazing!!!
I would like to thank all my wonderful friends and family who helped me sell tickets. To all the amazing local businesses that supported me and donated gifts Touche Hair Skin Body, Tanya Daniels The Good Guys, Forge Pizzeria, Pauline Dean, Sharp Accounting, EyeFi, T&C Nails, Skin Ski + Surf, amazing High Tech Printing (who donated all the flyers and postcards I was handing out around town), Krooze In Cafe, Athletes Foot Ballarat, Wen & Where, Rokk66 and Elisha from Arbonne.

Friday
Here is our chocolate truffles recipe that Noah had for his birthday as well.
 |
| Chocolate balls AKA truffles with chickpeas and no added sugar |
Chocolate truffles
Typically I make these with nuts eg: 250g walnuts, hazelnuts etc... or LSA mix
But on this occasion I drained and thoroughly washed 1 can of chickpeas and added;
• 1 heaped tablespoon of raw cacao powder or good quality dark cocoa powder
( For extra protein I add 1 scoop of 180 Nutrition chocolate protein powder)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• pinch sea salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1/4 cup honey or more to taste or use pitted dates until you reach your desired sweetness
NB: you can always soak the pitted dates with the chickpeas so they absorb their flavour!
Method
Simply blend all ingredients together and roll into balls in desiccated coconut or cacao powder and enjoy!!!
I hope you all had an amazing week, I look forward to next week and the countdown to my first ever Ride To Conquer Cancer!!! WOO HOO!!!
What was the highlight of your week?
