Raw Dark Chocolate Lemon Chia Truffles

If you are trying to eat healthier, or maybe incorporate more raw or plant based foods into your diet, that does not mean eliminating all things pleasurable.  On the contrary, you can enjoy foods you love!  Even chocolate.  Especially when it comes in the form of these Dark Chocolate Lemon Chia Truffles.  They are packed full of goodness with raw almonds, cacao and chia seeds with the tartness and aroma of lemon which is simply heavenly with the dark chocolate.  These are gooey and delicious but I find that one or two is just the right amount to satisfy. What makes them even better, is the fact that they are easy to make and non fussy.
