Karina Targosz, Main Dietitian, Compass Group Poland:
"For the past 10 years, U.S. News & World Report has been ranking the best diets. In 2020, it's the Mediterranean diet, the Dash diet and flexitarianism, respectively.
This recipe fits with these three ways of eating because it contains plant protein and is a way of easily modifying traditional sweets. Additionally, these truffles can be made from a variety of products you currently have in your kitchen.
The base is dates and the rest depends on your creative invention. It's also a fun recipe to do with the children!"

- Grind the almonds into flour.
- When the dates are softened, add the oats, ground almonds, cocoa, coconut shavings.
