Tasty Raw Vegan Nut Balls!

Paleo and raw vegan people — you can eat delicious chocolaty and nutty desserts!

I’ve been making these nut balls for 4 months and LOVE them!

My friends and family keep asking me for the recipe, so here it is. 

There are no grains (flour), sugar, or bad oils in these nuggets. 

They’re made with mostly organic nuts and seeds, and it has cacao (CHOCOLATE!) and stevia (for sweetness). 

They’re only 160 calories each, and they fill you up!

It’s a diabetic’s ideal dessert!

Raw Vegan Nut Balls (Makes 30)

Ingredients:

2 cups almonds

1 cup cashews

1 cup pecans

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/3 cup flax and hemp seed blend

1/3 cup raw cacao powder

1/3 cup stevia

1 tsp tumeric

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup flax seed oil

1/2 cup coconut oil

1/2 cup almond milk

Directions:

1.  Put all dry ingredients and seasonings into a food processor. Pulse it a few times until all ingredients are mixed but not pulverized. Leave some nut chunks to offer texture to the nutballs. 

2.  Add the oils and milk to make the mixture sticky.  Add more coconut oil or almond milk to create the consistency needed to make 1″ or 1 1/2″ balls.

3.  Spray a cookie sheet with oil to keep the nut balls from sticking.

4.  With wet hands, roll your nut balls and place on cookie sheet.

5.  Place cookie sheet in the refrigerator for an hour to set. 

6.  Best when eaten chilled.  Can be frozen and served later.

Creative options:

1.  Roll nutballs in shredded coconut flakes

2.  Place a raspberry or blackberry in the center of the nut ball

3.  Place a raspberry, blackberry or blueberry  on top of the nut ball
