Ingredients
  • Unsweetened Coconut Flakes 3 TBSP
  • Cacao Powder 3 TBSP
  • Dried Unsweetened and Unsulfered Apricots 15 Each
  • Dates 20 Each
  • Smooth Almond Butter .33 cup (85 g)
  • Shelled Pistachios .25 cup (30 g)
  • Raw Almonds 1 cup (120 g)
  • Spirulina Powder 1 TBSP
  • Ground Linseed/Flax Seed 2 TBSP
Instructions
  1. Soften your dates by soaking in a bowl with water just covering them for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. The longer that you soak, the easier it will be to combine them with other ingredients in your blender or food processor. You can also chop them up into smaller pieces before soaking as well to help with this process. When finished, drain the dates, but save some of the water in the bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, combine almonds, pistachios, and flax seeds in a high speed blender or food processor and pulse until broken down into a coarse powder, some chunks are fine. If your blender/food processor is not designed to handle nuts you may also chop up beforehand with food chopper or in a plastic bag with a meat pounder.
  3. Add the dates and apricots to the blender and combine until smooth. The batter will be quite thick, so you may need to stop and stir a few times or add a small bit of the water you used to soak the dates in. Start small only about 1 TBSP at a time as needed.
  4. Pour all contents into a separate bowl and add all remaining ingredients. Mix very well, using a spatula or your hands to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  5. Place the bowl in the freezer for approximately 10-15 minutes to allow the mixture to slightly harden. Then remove and roll approximately 1 TBSP at a time into a small ball between your hands.
  6. If desired, roll the ball in a thin layer of unsweetened coconut flakes to cover and enjoy!
  7. You can keep these in the fridge for about 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
