ENERGY BALLS FROM WWW.DETOXINISTA.COM
1 cup whole raw cashews
1⁄2 cup raw almonds
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1⁄4 teaspoon fine sea salt
10 ounces Medjool dates, pitted (about 11⁄4 cup, tightly packed)
1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract
In the bowl of a large food processor fitted with an "S" blade, grind the cashews, almonds, cinnamon and salt until finely ground. Add in the pitted dates and vanilla and process again until the dough becomes very sticky. Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough and roll it between your hands to make ball shapes. Arrange the balls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then place them in the fridge or freezer to set for one hour. Once the balls have firmed up a bit, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY MUFFINS (GLUTEN-FREE) WWW.DETOXINISTA.COM
Serves: 12 GLUTEN FREE
A quick and easy muffin that's a great alternative to making sandwiches each day!
3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup mashed)
3⁄4 cup natural peanut butter, or nut butter of choice
3⁄4 cup sprouted buckwheat flour
1⁄4 cup pure maple syrup
1⁄2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar
1 cup fresh raspberries
Preheat the oven to 350F and line a standard muffin tin with 12 baking cups. (I use these reusable silicone cups.) In a large mixing bowl use a fork to mash the ripe bananas until they have a puree-like consistency-- it's okay if there are a few lumps. Add in the peanut butter, buckwheat flour, maple syrup, salt, and baking soda and mix well until a sticky batter is created, then stir in the vinegar last. Fold in the fresh raspberries and divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups.
Bake until the centers are firm and the tops begin to crack, about 20 minutes. Cool completely in the pan before serving, and store the muffins in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week.
