Sugar Free Goodness
Healthy and nutritious snacks for the kids using three ingredients. Yes! Only THREE!
You can buy a version of these snacks at the supermarkets and fruit shops but when it’s so easy to make your own on demand and know exactly what’s in them… why buy them?
These yummy Sweet Summer Rolls are naturally sweetened, full of fibre, minerals, vitamins, bit of protein and healthy fats. They’re also vegan, raw, paleo and gluten free. An easy, ready snack to make healthy eating and whole-food nourishment a cinch!
You simply need a food processor and some baking paper.
Quick Nutritional Facts
Almonds:
- high in magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc and copper
- excellent source of heart healthy fats
- helps lower blood pressure
- helps control blood sugar
- rich in antioxidants
Medjool dates contain a long list of vitamins and a bountiful amount of minerals: calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, zinc, copper, and manganese. They are sweet, sticky and the perfect substitute for sugar in raw protein balls, brownies, cheesecake bases and smoothies.
Sweet Summer Rolls
1.5 cups soaked and rinsed almonds (I soak at least 4 hours)
1 firmly packed cup medjool dates – soaked in warm/hot water, rinsed and pitted
1-2 tsp vanilla extract (not essence)
Method:
Pulse the almonds in a food processor until well broken down.
Add the pitted medjool dates and vanilla extract and process until combined and sticky.
Place the mix into the centre of a large piece of baking paper and fold it over. Use your hands to roll out into desired shape between the baking paper sheet. Slice into desired shapes.
To finish, roll in coconut, cacao nibs or chopped nuts.
Store in fridge or freezer and eat when tempted!
