Quick snack: Pecans with Almond Butter and Raisins

Sometimes I just want a quick bite to eat between meals. I've found this treat to be both filling and to satisfy my sweet tooth. It's simply pecan halves with some raw almond butter on top. Feel free to add some raisins, too :)

Choco-Pecan Date Balls

My first recipe post! I've been craving chocolate, but since I decided to go raw last week I've been staying away from the over-processed stuff (ie. the sugary consumer crap). Here's a simple, moist, chocolate treat:


Choco-Pecan Date Balls

1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup dates (soaked for 5-6 hours)
2 Tbs cocoa + a bit for rolling in
1/4 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt

1. Process pecans until broken up into small bits
2. Add dates, cocoa, vanilla, and salt. Process until smooth
4. Shape into balls
5. Roll in cocoa

Makes: 6 balls

Simple, quick, and it takes care of that chocolate craving.
