I love delicious, easy, mostly-healthy snacks that I can make in advance to have on hand. When we get hungry, we get hangry and it’s not pretty. A nutritious little treat is just what the blood sugar ordered.
These sweet little balls of awesome taste so sinful, but they’re full of healthy fats and dates. They’re vegan, raw and so easy to whip up! As I write this post my daughter saw the photo and said “Oooooh can we make those again?!” Yes. Yes we can. They’re so tasty that The Food Artist and I hardly left any for the kiddo. Whooooops!
