Health Ballz!

part of everyone's daily diet
should be 2 brazil nuts!
so using this as the basis for our inspiration,
we came up with another raw sweet treat recipe!
not only are these ballz decadent,
but every single ingredient has been designed for
HEALTH!
have one a day,
(don't overdue it,
each contains all daily benefits you need)
and it will surely keep the doctor away!

brazil nuts:
high in selenium, a mineral which fiercely fights cancer & is also very good for hair, eyes, and skin. these ballz have been designed to have 2 nuts each, which reaches your daily selenium requirement! other benefits? rich in vitamin e, and the b vitamin family, and minerals such as manganese, magnesium, and copper!

dried apricots:
amongst the top 10 richest iron sources! that means energy!!! also a plentiful source of vitamin a, potassium, a natural treatment for skin diseases

dried cranberries:
just so bountiful in health! potassium; calcium; fiber; iron; vitamins e, k, c, b-6; magnesium... oh wow!!!

chia seeds:
these are truly remarkable! used by ancient peoples of the world in times of battle, they supply you with energy! omega-3, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, fiber, protein, selenium, phosphorous, antioxidants, folate, lignans... these truly are a superfood. we definitely recommend you have a tablespoon or two a day of these beauties! each cookie will only have a little amount (though still a great booster!) so add more chia seeds into your diet throughout the day!

cinnamon:
adding a few teaspoons of cinnamon to your daily palette is like becoming friends with a doctor! its powers range from lowering cholesterol, regulating blood sugars, relieving arthritis, and is also a source of iron, fiber, manganese, and calcium

cocoa: 
gettin' those surreal chocolate flavours and health?! oh yes. a natural anti-depressant & mood elevator, while also allowing your brain to flourish & your skin to glow... in addition to being a natural cancer fighter!

LSA mix:
this is a wonderful blend of linseeds, sunflower seeds, and almonds! with it comes the benefits of high energy, iron, b-vitamins, calcium, omega-3, and antioxidants!

vanilla extract:
among other things, this fragrant extract can soothe and calm any anxiety or stress you are feeling! thanks vanilla, you potent goddess!!!

coconut: 
a killer of negative bacteria and illnesses that may enter your body! helps build stronger teeth and bones. an anti-aging food, smoothing the skin & preventing wrinkles & droooopin

10 dried apricots
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 Tbsp chia seeds
1 Tbsp cinnamon
