I don’t have a lot of extra time on my hands to workout since I am a stay-at-home mother of 20 month old twins. Life is so busy! I commit to making it to the gym two days a week and three if I am lucky! The other days I try to stay active and will take the boys for a run in my jogging stroller or a walk to the park. In any regard, when I am able to hit the weights, I want enough energy, power and stamina to lift heavy and lift hard. I want a power workout! I have one hour to get as much done as I can, so it has to be good. These power balls are a fantastic way to incorporate these special super foods God has blessed us with. I have already talked about the benefits of adding Maca to your diet (here) and Chia seeds (here) but this is a delicious, healthy treat to add and have as a snack or dessert! Maca is not only known for its ability to increase stamina, but also fertility and libido… so be prepared! 😉
I also want to share the benefits of raw cacao since I have incorporated it into a couple recipes now. Here are the top five benefits of raw Cacao according to Livestrong.com:
- Eating raw cacao helps the body repair itself and resist free-radical toxins
- Promotes cardiovascular health
- Protects against toxins
- Rich in magnesium which helps balance brain chemistry
- The antioxidant flavanoids helps with circulation, regular heartbeat and blood pressure
Naturally Made Raw Coconut Maca Chia Power Balls
Ingredients
- 2 cups of Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
- 6 Tbs Organic Coconut Oil
- 2 tsp Organic Vanilla
- 3 Tbs raw Organic Maca
- 2 Tbs Raw Cacao
- 2 Tbs Raw Organic Honey
- 1/3 cups Chia Seeds




They are sweet, delicious, and oh so good for you! Your body will thank you! Store in the refrigerator. Keeping them cool will harden them a bit because of the coconut oil. Enjoy!
