Energy Balls

I love experimenting in the kitchen, especially to make SUGAR-FREE treats! Here are 2 different "energy-balls" that are both super quick and easy to make.

Almond Coconut Balls

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Raw Almonds

• 1 Cup unsweetened shredded coconut

• 10 Medjool Dates (pitted and soak in water for 10min)

• 2 tsp organic pure vanilla extract (or crushed whole vanilla bean)

• 1/4 Cup Raw Almond Butter (optional)

• 1/4 Cup melted coconut oil

• 1 Cup Raw Walnuts

Directions

1. Add almonds, walnuts and shredded coconut to blender or food processor and pulse until ground into a fine nut flour. Remove dates from the water and combine flour.

2. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend thoroughly. (you may need to scrape the sides of blender or food processor)

3. Remove from blender and use hands to roll into balls. I then coat the outside with the shredded coconut for look.

4. Let set in the fridge until firm.
