Superfood Snowballs
Makes 22 balls
1 cup pitted dates, chopped
½ cup raw pumpkins seeds
1/8 cup hemp seeds
1/8 cup chia seeds
1/8 cup raw cacao powder
¼ cup cashew or almond butter
½ teaspoon maca root powder
1 tablespoon mesquite powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
1/8 cup maple syrup
½ cup almond or hazelnut flour
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut, for coating
In a food processor, combine above ingredients, except coconut. Blend until well combined and scrape edges down if needed. Spread coconut onto a plate and place “batter” into a medium sized bowl. Use a tablespoon as a guide and create balls by rolling one tablespoons worth between your palms. Then press into shredded coconut and gently roll to coat and set aside on a clean plate. Repeat process until finished. Place the plate, covered in the refrigerator or freezer for 30 minutes before storing or freezing. These delicious, coconut crusted truffle-like snacks are great for biking, hiking or skiing as well as an addictive yet healthy sweet-treat.
