“I feel hot inside!”

Filed under: Bellingham local,local,Pacific Northwest — Tags: , , , , — Bellinghamster @ 6:25 am

My son was very surprised by the way he felt after eating a couple of Raw Energy Balls I had made.

“I feel hot inside!” he exclaimed.

You should go outside and run around the neighborhood a few times;  they are ‘energy’ balls, after all.

“Oh”. And then he started laughing. “These would be great to eat before a lacrosse or hockey game!”

Here is the recipe for a Raw Energy Ball courtesy of Ali Segersten’s The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook:

1 cup raw almonds or walnuts
1 cup medjool dates, pitted
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 cup raw almond butter
shredded organic coconut

  1. In a food processor fitted with the ‘s’ blade grind the almonds (or walnuts) until finely ground. Add the dates, raisins and spices. Grind to a fine meal.
  2. Add the almond butter; process again until thoroughly mixed.
  3. Form into balls and roll in shredded coconut.

Store in a sealed container on the counter for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.

These little gems are vegan and raw/living food and they don’t last a week in my house because they get eaten! Thank you, Ali Segersten!
