When I did the Las Vegas Ragnar I packed all of my own clean foods to eat. One of the things that I took was what became known as "clean balls." There were several jokes about my clean balls, but since there were six girls in our van it didn't get too crude. This made me think of my favorite SNL skit of all time. So today I am sharing my clean ball recipe and the SNL Schweedy Balls skit
1/2 cup nut butter
2 TBSP coconut oil
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 TBSP honey
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup dried fruit (I used 1/2 c raisins and 1/2 c dates)
1 cup quick oats
Pulse ingredients in food processor. I added a little more cocoa powder, honey and nut butter to get it the right consistency. Roll into 1 inch balls. I freeze them and then when frozen I put them in a zip lock baggie or container to pull out when I need a quick snack.
Instead of adding more honey, I have been adding about 1/4 cup coconut milk instead. This makes them a little bit softer without adding more sugar. I also use prunes for the dried fruit because they are softer and seem to be blend up better.
