Raw Balls

Ingredients:
1/2 c. walnuts
1/2 c pitted dates
1/4 c carob powder
1/4 c spirulina powder (or double carob if is unavailable)
1/4 c maple syrup (or double if agave syrup is unavailable)
1/4 c agave syrup
1/2 c almond butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 c whole almonds
Shredded unsweetened coconut for rolling

Instructions: Place walnuts in food processor and process until coarsely ground.  Add dates, and pulse until well combined.  Add carob powder, spirulina powder, syrups, almond butter and vanilla extract.  Process the mixture until it is thick and smooth.  Add the almonds and pulse until combined-you want them to remain in crunchy chunks.  Form the mixture into golf-ball size balls with your hands.  Roll the balls in coconut.  Place in a sealed container in the freezer until hardened.

Makes 10-12 balls
