Raspberry Happiness Balls

Cashews are a great source of monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, and magnesium. Anti-inflammatory properties and more antioxidants galore from nature’s candy ‘raspberries.’

Ingredients

• 70g (½ cup) cashew nuts (nut-free below)
• 80g (1 cup) desiccated coconut
• ½ cup frozen raspberries
• 2 tablespoons sweetener (rice malt syrup or maple syrup)
• Zest of one lemon (optional)
• ¼ cup extra desiccated coconut to roll them in

  Method

• Grind your cashew nuts in a food processor
• Add the coconut, raspberries, sweetener and optional lemon zest
• Mix to combine
• Roll into balls and then roll in more coconut if you like
• Store in the freezer and serve from frozen. Enjoy!

  Variations

• Nut-free - Substitute the cashews with toasted sunflower seeds or rolled oats (grind as you would the nuts).
• Low-fructose - Choose rice malt syrup as your sweetener.
• Choc-raspberry - Can’t help but want chocolate? Add a tablespoon of cacao to make them choc-raspberry.

  Store and serve

• As with any raw treat, these don’t hold up to heat well. I always store them in the freezer and if packing in a lunchbox, pack from frozen and against and ice brick.
