Ingredients
1/2 cup Raw Almonds
1/4 cup Raw Brazil Nuts
1/2 cup Raw Cashews
1 cup dried Apricots
1&1/2 tablespoons Coconut Oil (cold pressed extra virgin)
1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground Nutmeg
Method
· In a 1.5 or 1.8L processor bowl, place the raw nuts and pulse to break them up. Take a handful or two aside to use to roll the balls in and prevent the finished balls from sticking together.
· Process the nuts until they are a rough ‘meal’ consistency...like rustic wholemeal flour.
· Chop up the dried apricots and add them to the bowl.
· Pulse to break them up and mix them through.
· Process the mixture until the apricots are in small pieces/chunks about the size of small raisins.
· Add the dried spices and mix together.
· Add the coconut oil and mix on medium to blend the ingredients well.
· Test the mixture so that it stays together when you pinch it. (if you need to add a little more coconut oil do so in half teaspoon increments until you reach a good consistency)
· Using a teaspoon, scoop out a small amount of mixture and roll it into a ball, then roll it in some of the nut meal. Continue until the mixture is all rolled into balls and coated in nut meal.
· Place in a jar or container in the fridge so they can solidify.
These are delicious with chai tea or dandelion root drink, and a good way of getting an instant energy boost without consuming sugar.
You could add some raw cacao, or Berry Radical powder to this mixture and make it ‘chocolatey’, or substitute the nut meal coating with Quinoa or Amaranth flakes to give it extra protein. The nut and dried fruit mix is full of vitamins and minerals to support you when you need that extra bit of help to get through the day. And, this is all processed sugar free. Great hey :)
Super!!
