I adapted the first recipe by using half the almonds (I have found too many almonds can have some kind of effect on my heart… And my husband has AFib so I’m cautious to not create tachycardia lol) and subbed 1/2 cup hemp hearts. I don’t have majool dates so used half cup pitted dates and half cup raisins. Also used grated ginger instead of candied ginger and added a light touch of local honey (could use maple syrup too) The results are amazeballs!!

They all sound yummy but I'm a total chocolate addict so the cacao cherry ones would be my favorite. Actually my very favorite combination is chocolate and orange, so my go-to raw balls/bars recipe is walnuts, dates, cacao powder and orange marmalade. These days I'm too lazy to roll balls so I pack the mixture into a square cake pan, refrigerate for an hour or two, and cut into squares. This way also gives me more consistent sizing for accurate nutrition tracking.
@Simnettnutrition2 ай бұрын
You should try the cacao nib ones if you like chocolate - they are not very sweet though! I did this on purpose, so it's more of a dark chocolate tase, you can sweeten them more if you need to (add some dates).

Have you tried organic valencia peanuts/peanut butter? I'm quite sensitive to regular peanut butter. It is because of the mold/aflatoxins. (There was a triggering point, and after that I became hyper sensitive to it). Anyways, valencia peanuts are usually grown in much drier climates than regular peanuts (usually grown in very humid climates) and thus tend to have much less mold and aflatoxin issues. I spent years thinking that I would never have peanut butter again, until I saw some interesting websites talking about mold/aflatoxins and the differences between regular peanuts and valencia. So far I've tried two that don't bother me at all. Trader Joe's organic valencia peanut butter and Costco's organic valencia peanut butter. Valencia peanuts are most often grown in New Mexico, Texas, and Spain btw. (Regular peanuts usually in the deep south or in sub tropical areas).

@@womanofacertainage5892 "Natural peanut butter" can be made of regular peanuts _or_ valencia. I'm talking only pure valencia. You're tried that and still get a reaction?

This is why I took the time to type all that out. 🙄 *_It's not about the peanuts themselves, but about the mold/aflatoxins on/in same. Valencia peanuts often have even less mold/aflatoxins than even almonds, cashews, pistachios, and walnuts because they are grown in much drier climates than regular peanuts and some other nuts are._* Note: many almonds are fine, because they too are often (but not always) grown in drier/less humid climates.
