Third Chakra (solar plexus, digestive organs)  Coconut oil will improve your digestion and increase your metabolism.  Tahini is full of minerals and methionine which aids liver detoxification. spirulina (a blue-green algae) is an amazing food that is very high in detoxifying chlorophyll.  And as the toxins are removed and our metabolism is increased, we have more energy.

Fourth Chakra (heart)  Coconut oil is also excellent for the heart because of the lauric acid which prevents high cholesterol and high blood pressure.  Knowing that coconut oil is so good for you will also bring happiness to your heart and expand your heart chakra :) 

Truffle Balls
        1 cup tahini (sesame paste) (preferably organic) 
        4 tbsp hemp hearts
        2 tbsp coconut oil (melted gently, not too hot)
        3 tbsp maple syrup
        1 tsp spirulina (or 2 tsp other greens powder such as BarleyLife (you can get that from me!)
        1 tsp cinnamon
        1 tsp vanilla extract
        Couple pinches sea salt
Instructions:  
In a bowl stir together all the ingredients.  Roll approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture in your hands to create a roundish ball shape.  Freeze the balls for 5 minutes on a parchment lined plate or container ensuring they do not touch each other.  Meanwhile make the chocolate coating sauce. 

Chocolate Coating Sauce
        4 tbsp coconut oil or butter
        3 tbsp raw cacao powder or dark full fat cocoa powder
        3 tbsp maple syrup
        1/2 tsp vanilla extract
        Couple pinches sea salt
Instructions:
Melt the coconut oil or butter on low heat until just melted (not hot).  Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients.  Remove the balls from the freezer and one by one dip them into the chocolate sauce until they are completely covered and place them back on the parchment.  Because the balls are cold, the chocolate will harden quickly.  The first dipping will create a thin layer of chocolate.  Place the balls back in the freezer for a couple of minutes.  Repeat the dipping and freezing process three times until a thick layer of chocolate is achieved.  Finally, freeze the completed balls for about 15 minutes. 

Voila!  You now have Blissful Energy Truffles!  Store the Truffles in the fridge. They can be layered if you put parchment paper between the layers.
