Star Recipe: Raw Date and coconut balls




Raw Date and coconut balls

@ By Franz!

Healthier than traditional cookies, these little treats are easy to make, too!
Feel free to add in dried fruits and nuts of your choice for variation!

Makes about 24 cookies

Prep Time: 5 minutes Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup Mejool Dates
1/2 cup finely shredded coconut, plus more for coating (I used the powdered coconut flour from Tesco)
1/2 cup plain oat biscuits - I used Paterson oat cakes with olive oil
1/4 cup mixed dried fruit (sultanas etc) from the supermarket
3 Tablespoons of maple syrup (or agave nectar)

Preparation:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix all of the ingredients until well combined. I used my food processor for that. Form into 1 " balls and roll each in shredded coconut, placing on the prepared sheet as you work until all of the "dough" is used up. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and enjoy!
Notes: these balls are very sweet. You can save some money and definitely use much less maple syrup (although I suppose it keeps together all the bits).

Love Smoothies?

How to heal from Paronychia (bacterial nail infection) with herbs!

How a friend healed from Paronychia  (bacterial nail infection) with herbs! About a week ago I went to my local supermarket and I noticed that the till assistant had a sling on his bandaged middle finger. I am curious by nature , so I couldn't help asking him what happened to his finger. Carl, that was his name, promptly showed me and my daughter his finger (after taking off bandage and sling of course). To have an idea of what it looked like, have a look at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paronychia It looks painful, doesn't it? He said that when he was watching a football on TV, he didn't realise that his nail-biting had gone a bit over the limit, and he had torn some flesh. His doctor was about to see him in two days, he reassured me, and he probably expected to be given antibiotics to treat the infection. Not happy with what I saw, I suggested a few herbs that could help him earlier than his G.P. appointment. However, once I got hom...
