Serves one or two hungry, PMS-y girls. Or maybe one guy.I just made this treat as an impromptu solution to a craving for sweet/salty/crunchy, so I’m not too sure what the exact measurements were. This is a guess-timate. But it definitely hits the spot… will probably have to up the ante on exercise after eating, but totally worth it!
Ingredients:
½ cup raw almonds, chopped
.33 cup shredded coconut
¼ cup raw pumpkin
seeds
¼ cup dehydrated fruit (I used raisins, cranberries, and cherries), chopped
.33 cup chopped dates
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
¼ cup raw almond/cashew butter
dash sea salt
raw honey/agave nectar to taste
Preparation:
Mix dry ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. Add nut butter, sweetener (agave nectar or honey), and sea salt. Mix with your (clean) hands, taking all of your anger and frustration out on the poor, innocent “dough”. Form into small balls, and place on waxed paper or parchment paper. Put in the freezer to set, approximately one hour. Enjoy the gooey, sweet/salty/crunchy goodness!

Well, it should have made around 6-8 small "Schwetty" balls (ha, ha...good one geespeen!), but I kept on eating the dough as I was forming the balls.
