PHOTO 4/16
Ingredients:
1 cup organic raw almonds
1 cup organic dates, soaked (keep 3-4 Tbs. of the water you soaked the dates in)
1/4 cup dried apricots
1/4 cup pistachio nuts
1/4 cup organic raw almond butter
2 tablespoon ground flax seed
2 heaping tablespoons raw cocoa powder
2 tablespoons of shredded coconut into the mixture (have 2-3 tablespoons for rolling)
1 tablespoon organic spirulina
1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt (or other sea salt varieties)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Combine all the nuts and seeds in a food processor or high-speed blender to pulse until broken down (you can choose to leave some chunks or pulse until fine).
2. Pour the processed almonds, pistachios, and flax seed into a large mixing bowl.
3. In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine softened dates and apricots.
4. Add the nut/seed mixture with the dates/apricots into the blender.
5. Combine until the mixture resembles a sticky, thick "batter".
6. Place the combined mixture into a large mixing bowl and fold the remaining ingredients manually (that's right, get those hands messy...really messy!)
7. Place the "batter" into the freezer for about 10 minutes or until cooled.
8. Take a Tbs. or a small ice-cream scooper to measure the batter.
9. Gently roll the Tbs. of "batter" into your hands until a small ball forms.
10. Once you have formed all the "batter" into small balls, you may roll them into the 2-3 Tbs. of shredded coconut (this is optional)
11. Store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days OR you may keep them in the freezer and grab and go for a quick snack.
12. Enjoy!
