Coconut and Nut Butter Balls

 

 

This recipe was an instant hit with my kids and my group coaching class.  It is a simple and quick "pick me up" snack that doubles as a frozen treat!

Ingredients:

 

1 Cup of all natural nut butter (almond, cashew or unsalted peanut butter)

1 Tbsp of honey, agave nectar, maple syrup or xylitol

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup of raisins (optional)

1 Tbsp chia seeds (flax, hemp, sunflower)

Unsweetened coconut

*Other yummy add-ins: unsweetened cocoa, chopped nuts, mashed banana in lieu of the

sweetener.

 

Mix nut butter, sweetener (if using), vanilla, raisins and chia seeds and form into mini balls

Drop nut butter balls into a bowl of shredded unsweetened coconut and coat.

Place nut butter balls onto wax paper and chill for 1 hour in the freezer.
