This is part of a series of recipes making lovely raw sweet treats inspired by the delightful Larabars. While they are made from whole foods, they are still a sweet treat and as such should be consumed in moderation! You can find all the posts by clicking here.
Macadamias are my favourite nut and thankfully they have an excellent nutrient profile. These raw macadamia balls are ridiculously easy to make. Just place the three ingredients into the food processor and you are close to done!
Rolled into balls once the ingredients have been turned into dough, then rolled into additional coconut.
Then it is into the fridge to set for a couple of hours.
And then they are ready to eat!
