Raw Balls

One of my favorite things to do is look at ingredients and try to mimic a project but make it even healthier. This weekend, we purchased some raw balls. They are dried fruits and nuts rolled up into balls and are delicious. They are super expensive and also have agave and honey in them. They are similar to real fruit and nut bars. I love to experiment with these and have an easy healthy snack to grab on the go. We had a little time tonight and went through our pantry and created our own raw balls.
We made a few different kinds. The kids picked things they liked and experimented. The kids were able to be 100% hands on and helped in all aspects.
We didn't measure anything out. We just made an equal blend of all ingredients. It it turned out too sticky, we added more almond flour and if they were too dry, we added a little water to the mix.

1. In the food processor, blend unsweetened dried figs, almond flour, splash of water, cocoa powder, and coconuts. Blend until evenly blended. You could add oats too.
Then roll in to balls and roll in coconut. Everything we used was unsweetened.

2. In the food processor, blend unsweetened apricots, applesauce, cinnamon, and almond flour. You could add oats too. Blend until evenly blended.
 Everything we used was unsweetened.

3. In the food processor, blend oats, almond butter, applesauce, and cinnamon. Roll into balls.

We place them all on a pan lined with wax paper and freeze. You can eat them frozen or let them thaw for a couple of minutes first.

These are husband and kid approved and 100% guilt free!
