Wake-Up Mocha Balls

I made this recipe up because I fancied a treat and a cup of coffee at the same time, so thought I would combine the two! These balls are best eaten straight after a meal, rather than as a snack. This way they will have less of an effect on our blood sugars. They are wake up because I have added a small Espresso shot, cacao and cacao nibs, which combined, contain the natural stimulants caffeine, theobromine and theophylline.

I also added some MCT oil which stands for Medium Chain Triglycerides. This is a part of coconut oil that is thought to enhance energy, metabolism and mental agility. This is because this particular chain length is thought to pass easily into our mitochondria (cellular energy factories) to increase our energy levels.
