In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the chia seeds, turmeric powder, ginger, ground cinnamon, and black pepper.
Add the pitted dates and honey/maple syrup to the rest of the ingredients. Blend again until everything is well mixed and the mixture starts to come together.
Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.
Place the turmeric balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Once chilled, they are ready to eat.
Notes
If the balls are too crumbly, add more water, honey or dates. If the balls are too soft, add more coconut and dry ingredients. You can add cayenne pepper if you like a spicy kick.
