Cacao-Coconut-Chai Energy Balls
Satiate your sweet tooth without compromising your health regimen. Great to eat before and after workouts or when your cravings kick in for that special "sweet" something. By incorporating Kauai-grown herbs; like Cacao, Turmeric, Yellow Ginger, Tulsi, Galangal Ginger, Cinnamon, Allspice, Lemongrass, Ashwagandha and Gotu kola, you are giving your body the energy it needs to perform at its best, while alkalizing and ridding the body of toxins, inflammation, and free radicals that may lead to illness and injury.
