Hi! My name is Sarah Jane and I blog over at The Fit Cookie and Fit Betty! I am super excited to partner with Amber and write a guest post for ExSoyCise today!

Wow, it’s December already! If you are anything like me, the month of December has crept up on you. I’m not sure why this happens – time is always constant. I suppose I have been busier lately and haven’t given enough thought to Christmas. I might end up being one of those frazzled last minute shoppers!

No worries! I whipped up a fast and healthy dessert recipe just for you that is perfect for the busy holiday season! Whether you need a dessert for dinner guests or need to create a last minute gift, these truffles fit the bill! Have fun with this recipe: use cashews instead of almonds, or dried apricots in place of dates, or even throw in some mini chocolate chips!

Almond Snow Ball Truffles Makes 16 Paleo, Vegan, Gluten-Free; Free of: soy, eggs, peanuts

 

1/2 cup almonds (I prefer oven roasted) 2/3 cup dates 1-2 Tablespoon almond butter 2 teaspoons vanilla 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut, shredded fine

  1. Place almonds and dates in a food processor and process until course.
  2. Add almond butter and vanilla and process again until mixed well and processed a bit more and it starts to stick together.
  3. Roll the dough into 16 balls, then roll each ball in the coconut.
  4. Enjoy! Store in the fridge : )
