Raw Carob Balls

Maybe you are new to the raw food diet and you’re looking for a sweet fix, or you are seasoned and just wanting to jazz up your menu a bit. Whatever the reason, these raw carob balls are super easy to make and are a delicious treat after any raw meal. The ingredients below will make about 16 raw carob balls.

• 1 cup of raw sunflower seeds
• 1 cup raisins (or an equal amount of pitted dates)
• 2 – 3 tsp carob powder
• 1 1/2 cup raw almond butter*
• shreddedcoconut

  *Raw almond butter may be difficult to find. You can certainly use regular almond butter instead (the dish won’t be 100% raw, but it will be 100% delicious)

1. Mix up the sunflower seeds, raisins, carob powder and almond butter using your food processor (if you have a mini food processor, you may want to combine all the ingredients in a bowl first, then place smaller portions into the food processor).

2. Scoop the mixture into a bowl (should be very thick). Then use a spoon to scoop out some of the mix. Use your hands to roll it into a 1 inch round ball.

3. Sprinkle some coconut shavings into a plate or saucer. Roll the ball around onto the coconut shavings so that it gets even amounts on all sides.

4. Then place the finished carob ball onto a plate. Repeat until you are out of batter.

5. Store in the refridgerator for a couple hours so that the are nice and cold.

Once they are cold they will become a treat for your taste buds. Not too sweet, and just the right consistency. Enjoy!
