 1 tsp vanilla
 ½ tsp cinnamon
 2 tsp maca powder
 1 pinch salt (optional)
 2 tbsp coconut

In a small bowl, add chia seeds and water. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes so the chia seeds gel.

3

Blend until smooth.

4

5

Scoop the bites with a teaspoon and with clean washed hands, roll mixture into small bite sized balls.

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Instead of rolling the bites in coconut, you could roll them in goji berries, hemp seeds or chia seeds for a crunch.
