banana bliss balls

been slacking in the work out department, but on a more positive note, i have gone back to eating pretty much 100% raw(i would say i'm at 90%). i really need to up my intake of wheat grass, which has virtually been none the past month or so.

i made a really great raw dessert tonight, with a little bit of modification from some raw food websites i've looked at. i did this on my own, & they actually turned out to be quite decadent! you were never know they were raw.

2 bananas
1 cup of walnuts (raw)
2 tablespoons of agave syrup (or honey, raw)
1 cup of mixed dried berries (or raisins will do)
2 tablespoons raw carob chips

pulse in food processor until chopped up - but not a gooey mush. use a tablespoon to create each ball, put on wax paper in the freezer for an hour. after they come out, heat up 2 cups of raw carob chocolate syrup (I put a cup in for one minute, just enough to make it more liquidy, which also probably made it unraw). dip each ball into the bowl of chocolate sauce & place back in the freezer. shouldn't take long to freeze. yum! dipping in raw shredded coconut is also an option.










(the raw chocolate is a little expensive, so melted regular chocolate can be substituted. great treat with little calories and when you need something for that craving!
