Have you ever found yourself wondering what’s on Tammy’s Table?

You will often here me say, when consuming a treat, to practice the “3 polite bite” rule. This means, that when we want to consume a dessert or something sweet to have just 3 bites. Generally, we only taste the first 3 bites and then we continue to eat it just because.  So, I created these little snack balls to be consumed as a snack or when you just want something a little sweet. Each ball is designed to be eaten in 3 bites and savored.  

Ball Ingredients: 

  • 1/8 cup (15g) raw Pumpkin Seeds
  • 1/8 cup (16g) raw Sunflower Seeds
  • 1/8 cup (16g) flax seeds
  • 1/3 cup Almond Butter
  • ¼ cup unsweetened Shredded Coconut
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Coconut Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Coconut Oil
  • 1/8 tsp Cinnamon 
  • 1-2 teaspoons of water if needed to form mixture into a ball

Coating: 

  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Coconut Sugar
  • 1/8 tsp Cinnamon

Variations

  • 1 Tablespoon Enoy Life Chocolate Chips or Lakanto Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Cofee Extract Flavoring

Directions: 

  • In a spice grinder or small mini-prep grinder, place the pumpkin, sunflower and flax seeds and grind until small.
  • Place in a bowl and add the shredded coconut, vanilla coconut sugar, cinnamon, and mix.
  • Next add the coconut oil and almond butter and mix well. You should be able to form into a ball. If not, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until you can form the mixture into balls. I like to use a 1” [1 Tablespoon] small meatball maker.
  • Form into a ball and then roll in the Coating and place on wax paper coated tray.
  • Once you have made all into balls, place in the freezer and store until ready to consume.
  • They will be hard to bite into, so be careful, but this helps to ensure that you will eat in 3 small polite bites  I have included a chocolate coffee variation- 2 of my favorite flavors together if you would like a little more decadent treat.
