Raw Coconut Energy Balls

Today was such a beautiful day in Ohio, and after doing a little bit of homework, I got out and enjoyed it! I hope you did, too. :)

I'm just having so much fun creating clean treats. If I had the money, I would be baking things all day and night. We have a friend coming over to our place tomorrow, so I had the perfect excuse to make a yummy treat today. And this is the first recipe that I completely designed myself. So, I'm feeling pretty proud. :)

They're delicious! And guilt-free. They can also be vegan with just one substitution. Here's the recipe.

Raw Coconut Energy Balls

These are the dates I use!

Ingredients: 

1 Tbsp. raw pumpkin seeds

1 Tbsp. flax seeds

1 small handful almonds

1 cup pitted dates, chopped

½ cup shredded coconut

2 tsps. Unsweetened cocoa

2 tsps. Coconut oil

1 Tbs. raw honey (for vegan option, use pure maple syrup instead!)

Put pumpkin seeds, flax seeds and almonds in blender or food processor. Blend into a powder. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until well combined. Form the mixture into small balls (makes about 8-10 balls) and roll in more shredded coconut. Store in refrigerator! Easy, right?

ENJOY! And have a great weekend! :)
