Our dear friends at Golden Buddha Yoga in Ocean City, New Jersey came up with these delicious, yet super healthy treats! We're all for raw, plant-based snacks that taste like dessert but are secretly super-nutritious.
Ingredients: 1 cup raw cashews 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus more for rolling 12-15 pitted dates (soak in hot water to soften for a few minutes) 2 drops peppermint extract (we used doTERRA) 1 tsp Mizuba Culinary Organic Matcha
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of pink salt
Optional: your favorite adaptogens such as ashwagandha, reishi, chaga, etc
Method: 1. Place cashews into your food processor and pulse until nuts are in small chunks.
2. Add nuts and the rest of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Mix everything together with your hands, making sure that dates are well mashed.
3. Using an ice cream scooper, form about 12-14balls.
4. Roll eachballinto shredded coconut. We also topped ours with calendula flowers!
Whoa! These are amazing. Yuzu adds a touch of bright florality to our delicious matcha lemon bars. Best of all: they're vegan and gluten-free (and you'd never know it). Read on for the recipe!
