If it were possible to make RAW, VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE, SUGAR FREE candy on the large scale I would make these for the world and no one would be the wiser that these [in moderation] are nutritious and so good for you!
These are my favorite little morsels that are perfect for phase 3 (maintaining weight loss), I'm working on a quinoa based version that will be phase 2 (weight loss) approved for the Slenderiiz program.
Ingredients (for half dozen)
7 pitted dates
1 tbs flax seeds (or 1/4 tbs flax seed meal)
1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil (solid not melted)
1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil (solid not melted)
3 tbs unsweetened coconut powder
1/4 cup raw almonds
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 unsweetened coconut shred
In a food processor or good blender pulse 7 pitted dates, 1 tbs flax seeds, 1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil
3 tbs unsweetened coconut powder. When the mixture is crumbly add 1/4 cup raw almonds and 1/8 tsp salt and pulse a couple times so the almonds are chopped but not pureed. Cover a plate with 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, scoop a palm size mixture in your hand and roll into a ball then roll in the coconut. This should make about 6 truffles. Put in the fridge to firm up and enjoy =)
I intentionally did a small serving size for our family to enjoy, because with all things moderation is key!
