Clean Coconut Balls

Hard to believe these are clean and hard to stop at one ;)

Ingredients

2 cups of almonds (can also use walnuts)

2 cups of dessicated coconut + and extra 1/2 a cup to roll balls in if desired

2 cups of dates + a cup of water (soak for an hour or 2 to make them easier to blend/process)

1/2 cup cacao

Can also add a few tablespoons of chia seeds or a few tablespoons of superfood powder! (i love mesquite and maca)

 Method

1. Pop almonds into food processor and blitz into almond meal (can leave some almond chunks in if you like, i do!) Pour into a big bowl and stir in coconut and cacao.

2. Place dates and water into food processor and blend until smooth. Can add more water if you need to, it should be like a slopy paste, doesnt matter if its a little more on the liquid side of things :)

3. Pour into bowl with other ingredients and stir well. Can add some coconut oil if too dry, or more coconut if too wet

4. Roll into balls and roll in coconut. Can also roll in cacao, or leave plain. Pop them in the fridge for a few hours, preferably overnight to set!

Quiche Cups

A hit with the kids too, great for lunches and snacks!

 Ingredients

10 egg whites
2 full eggs
1 cup of light grated cheese
Rye wraps or wholemeal tortillas cut into squares (size will depend on your muffin tins, they will need to cover sides of tin)
Any grated/finely chopped veggies you like, i used onion, capsicum, zucchini, carrot and broccoli. Light ham or finely shredded cooked chicken would taste great too!

Method
1. Pre heat oven to 180 degrees celsius. Whisk eggs in a large bowl.
2. Place your chosen veggies and cheese in the bowl, mix well. Season with salt/pepper/herbs of choice, i used rock salt, pepper and garlic
3. (If using tortillas) Put squares in the microwave for 10 secs or until just warm (so they are more flexible, rye wraps should be flexible enough already)
4. Press squares into muffin tins and spoon egg/veggie mixture in. Place in oven and cook for around 15-20 mins, or until egg mixture is set and edges of wrap are golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool! Store in sealed container in fridge

Banana Date Oats

I always try to switch up my oats, here we have banana and date!

1/3 cup oats

 1 cup almond/low fat milk
Half a banana, chopped
4 dates, chopped
1 teaspoon stevia

Place everything in a microwave safe bowl (let soak for 15 mins if you have time, makes the oats easier to digest) then put in microwave for 1-2 mins until hot, serve!
