Amazeballs

I love balls! There, I said it! Balls of all shapes and sizes, sweet, savory...you name it, if it´s shaped like a ball, I generally like the taste of it...I´m talking about food here of course ;)
Just think about it....falafel: good, meatballs: good, apples: good, fishballs: good, grapes: good, oranges: good....and these three amazing, sweet, juicy (yet super nutritious) balls I´m about to share with you: good :) It´s like a law of nature or something ;)

I fed the first two of these to my college friends the other day....they all wanted the recipe :) So here you go guys, this is for you IINH-ers:)

The choccie ones

• 1 cup dates 
• 1 tbsp ground linseed
• 1 tbsp ground pumpkinseed
• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 2 tbsp ground almonds
• 3 tbsp cacao powder
• generous pinch of salt
• 2 drops of peppermint oil
• 2 tbsp desiccated coconut  (optional)

-Put the dates into you blender or food processor and pulse until broken up and starting to form a          sticky  whole
- Bang in everything else apart from desiccated coconut
- Pulse a few times, scrape down the sides and pulse a few more times
- Now everything should be incorporated and we should have a sticky blob on our hands
- Remove from blender and shape into balls of any size
- If desired; roll in desiccated coconut....or cacao powder or whatever you feel like...or nothing :)
- Keep in the fridge or freezer and try not to eat them all in one go ;)

The Tahini ones

• 1 cup ground almonds
• 2 tbsp ground linseed
• 2 tbsp ground pumpkinseed
• 1/2 cup light tahini
• 1/4 cup agave (or honey or maple syrup)
• 2 tbsb cherry active (can use any juice concentrate for different flavors or use lime/lemon juice for tartness)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla powder (or essense)
• 2 tbsp mesquite (optional)

- Mix everything well together in a bowl
- Shape into balls with you hands
- Store in fridge/freezer
- Eat!

The purple ones

• 1 cup ground almonds
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup agave (or maple syrup/honey)
• 1 tbsp each; ground linseed, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds
• 4 tbsp pure blueberry juice
• juice from 1 lime

- Mix everything well together in a bowl

- And again....store in fridge or freezer
- ENJOY

There you go! How much easier could it get? And how handy are those babies to have up your sleeve now that the holidays are coming with all the feasting that follows? Eat a few (or many) of these balls instead of super-sugary cookies and cakes to escape the sugar blues during x-mas:) And the best thing, you wont even feel like your missing out on all the good stuff....cause this is it :D

OK, enough said, just roll up your sleeves and start rolling! It´ll take you less than half an hour, promise;)

Happy holidays everyone, hope you all have a lovely time with family and friends.
I´m off to Iceland! jealous? thought so ;)
