Try out this mid-afternoon energy snack!

I found this recipe on www.spoonfulofflavor.com and it was a big hit with the latest Holistic Core Restore® class participants.

It’s very easy to make and you don’t need a big quantity to stop those afternoon hunger pangs! Let me know what you think.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup almonds
• 
  
• 1/2 cup cashews
• 
  
• 1 ½ cup Medjool dates, pitted (It is best to soak these for a few hours first)
• 
  
• Zest and juice from 3 key limes
• 
  
• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut

Method:

Add the almonds and cashews to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until nuts are finely chopped (but do not pulse too long, you do not want the nuts to turn into a paste). Add the dates, lime juice and zest. Pulse until the dates are finely chopped and the mixture starts to clump. Shape the mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls. Roll in coconut to coat outside of the balls. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
