These high protein
balls are gluten and sugar free and a great snack for those moments when you
are searching the pantry for something sweet. They last in the fridge for
months, well, for as long as you can keep away from these delicious little
morsels.
2 cups pitted dates
½ cup warm water
1 cup whole almonds, skin on
1 cup organic rice puffs
½ cup quinoa
¼ cup desiccated coconut
Zest and juice of 1 orange
Shredded coconut, to coat balls
Soak dates in warm water
for 10 minutes. Using a food processor place whole almonds and process
until the almonds are finely chopped.
Add dates in liquid, rice
puffs, quinoa, desiccated coconut, zest and juice of orange. Process until
mixture has combined.
Shape teaspoonfuls of this
mixture into balls, and then place onto a tray. Repeat this until you have
used up all the mixture. Balls should be kept small as this mixture is rich.
Roll balls into shredded
coconut and place into a clean, air tight storage
jar. Store in the fridge.
