These guys are my obsession.
Confession: I am a snacker. I love snackin all day and will unfortunately reach for an unhealthy snack, if I don't have some healthy ones on hand, so I keep these babies on non-stop stock!
Ready for this simple recipe?! K!
Ingrediants:
3/4 cup buckwheat groats (these are low on the glycemic index, as well as high in fiber and protein. I have only found bags of buckwheat groats at whole foods)
1/4 heaping scoop of Almond Butter
1/4 cup Cold Press Coconut Oil
1/2 capful of alcohol-free Vanilla Extract
1 packet of Stevia (check out the label of your stevia box, make sure there are no additional additives. Just pure stevia.)
Directions:
Add all ingrediants into a blender or a food processor. Blend until nice and smooth.
Place parchment paper on a plate, roll contents into about 12 heaping Tablespoon size balls.
Place in freezer for 15 mins.
I like them just as they are but if you would like to drizzle chocolate on top, here are two different methods.
Chocolate Coating: (there are 1 of 2 ways to make the chocolate drizzle)
1. Get a 80% cacao bar, melt, add one packet of stevia, drizzle over balls.
2. Take one heaping tablespoon of Coco Powder, I heaping tablespoon of Coconut Oil and one packet of Stevia. Mix together and drizzle over almond butter coconut balls.

These guys are rich in healthy fats, which is phenomenal for our hair skin and nails and not to mention, healthy fats, like almond butter and coconut oil are excellent sources of Brain Food; which is fuel for mental energy, stamina and focus, as well as happiness and the prevention of Alzheimer's.
