I wanted to share with you this fun, delicious, raw cookie/trail mix ball recipe!
They make a great snack or healthy school lunch treat.
Despite the lengthy dry ingredient list, they are a breeze to throw together. Plus, how hard is it to throw seeds into a bowl?
Raw, Chewy Trail Mix Recipe
Ingredients:
10 pitted dates
1/4 cup almonds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup pumpkin (pepita seeds)
2 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp bee pollen (optional)
2 tbsp shredded coconut
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of cinnamon
If you are feeling fancy, add some cacao nibs!
Directions:
-
Place pitted dates and almonds in a food processor (or blender, vitamix works great for this) until the mixture is ground up. You can cleave a few larger pieces if you prefer.
-
Remove the mixture/paste from the processor and place into a medium sized bowl.
-
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well with your hands.
-
Form into mini cookies or balls (this makes about 10 mini cookies)
-
Eat right away or put in the fridge or freezer for quick snacks.
Enjoy!
