Healthy Coconut Balls (Paleo)



 Hello beautifuls,
I have another yummy and healthy recipe for you.  I've recently been trying out a bit of Paleo cooking.  I know coconut balls a traditionally Christmas food, however this recipe was too good not to share.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Prunes or Mejool Dates
1 cup Almond Meal
2 Tbsp Chia Seeds
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1 Tbsp Cocoa or Cacao Powder
2 Tbsp Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice or Coconut Oil
1/2 cup shredded coconut plus extra for rolling.

Method:
  1. Add prunes, almond meal, Chia seeds, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, coconut to a food processor and blend.
  2. Gradually add orange juice.  Blend until mix begins to stick together.
  3. Place a small amount of coconut into a bowl to rolling mixture into balls.
  4. Using a teaspoon take small portions of the mixture and roll into balls.  Place in bowl and cover in coconut.  
  5. Try not to eat them all at once.
 Makes approx 20.




Hope that gives you an idea for a healthy snack this week. 

Have a fabulous week.
