SNACKIES IN THE RAW

1/2 cup raw brazil nuts1/2 cup almonds1¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling1/4 cup goji berries1/4 cup cacao nibs1½ tablespoons maca powder1 cup medjool dates (about 9-11), pits removed1 tablespoons maple syrup1 tablespoons almond extract¼ teaspoons sea saltMethods/steps1) Put all the ingredients into a food processor. Grind until a coarse dough has formed and it starts rolling in a ball around the food processor.If the consistency is too grainy (sand-like), add more dates. If it is too thick and sticky, add more goji berries or cacao nibs. You will want it to turn into a dough ball, with a similar consistency and look to cookie dough.2) Next sprinkle extra coconut shreds on a cutting board, and line a plate or Tupperware with parchment paper or waxed paper. *You will be storing the balls on the plate or in the Tupperware.3) Then scoop some of the dough out little by little and form into balls. They should be about the size of a golf ball. Once rolled into a ball, roll them around in the coconut shreds until covered.4) Place on the lined plate or in the Tupperware and store in the refrigerator for an hour to harden.*If you cannot wait, they can be eaten immediately. The refrigerator just hardens them a bit, but this is a personal preference.
