Healthy Fruit & Nut Balls.

This incredibly healthy, easy, no-cook, vegan recipe was given to me by my friend Kath. She produced these amazing high-protein energy balls as a sweet treat when we were in the middle of a day’s walking in Snowdonia in September.

I HAD to have the recipe!

?1 small carrot – finely grated

?2oz raisins – finely ground

?1 lemon and orange – grate zest

?Quarter teaspoon cinnamon

?Quarter teaspoon ground ginger

?Pinch nutmeg

?9oz pecans – finely ground

?6oz dates – stewed 5 mins in a little water, then mashed

?2oz desiccated coconut

• Mix it all, except the coconut. Blend together with a fork, masher, or food processor, until its a uniform thick paste.
• Take a teaspoon at a time and form into golf-ball size balls.
• Roll each in the coconut, and place on a plate. Store in the fridge.

Eat instead of a dessert. Its almost a Christmassy taste. Or after one of my fab Home Workouts! ?

They are surprisingly firm and resilient for traveling with!  SHARE the love!.
