The GOOD in Goodie Balls

What’s round, tastes great, is actually healthy and is made with Barefoot Farm love?

 

GOODIE BALLS! These high energy snacks are D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S. and they’re a great convenient healthy option when you need a little pep-up between meals.

 

A wholefood snack which is actually GOOD for you, there’s no weird numbers or letters (those are the little nasties that sneak up in your food and cause mayhem in your body without you realising). No ingredient list that resembles a conspiracy theory encrypted code here…we’re all natural here!. This means that Goodie Balls are nutrient dense and healthier for you than most other “Bliss Balls” without any compromise on taste.

 

There are three flavours to choose from: my ‘out and about around town’ favourite is Almond Date. Cashew Goji is my ‘at home doing stuff’ choice whilst Hazelnut Cocao is my ‘after the kids have gone to bed me time on the couch’ go too.. 

 

What’s the saying? “Don’t eat anything your grandmother wouldn’t recognise as food”. Have you ever tried to pronounce some of the things many company’s manufacture and then label it as “food”. Goodie Balls on the other hand have two main ingredients: a selection of nuts expertly mixed with a selection of fruits. Mother nature is amazing no need to go messing around with fandangled engineered foods sometimes the simplest things in life are actually the best.

 

No cheap fillers in these little goodies such as milk powders, rice or wheat flours, which mean our GOODIE BALLS are vegan and gluten free as well as being a low inflammation nutritious snack and FODMAP and gut health friendly.

 

What makes GOODIE BALLS different? 

 

  • 3 pack – perfect snack size, pop it in the beach or gym bag, take them to work or have it in the car when those tummy gremlins call begging for a snack. Our 3 packs are 100% biodegradable and home compost friendly.

 

  • Bulk pack (20 Balls) – The most economical way to buy GOODIE Balls perfect to have in the pantry ready for you whenever you need to pack a healthy snack. These are a good environmental choice, less packaging and buying in bulk can save on waste and help support you making healthy choices.

 

  • In store – Pick up a GOODIE ball from your local cafe, health food shop or deli, zero packaging healthy snack on the GO.

 

If you can’t find Goodie Balls in your local cafe, reach out to them and us and we will try and get the goods to you.

Apple Crumble

Apple Crumble

Our version of a classic – we like to cut back on refined sugars in this iconic dish, so we recommend using coconut sugar which has a lower GI, packed full of minerals and well as imparting a wonderfully sweet caramel flavour. The Maple roasted Pecan Granola crumble topping pairs so wonderfully with this apple crumble, and you may like to experiment with some variations like swapping apple for pear or 1/2 apple 1/2 peaches to make something unique and amazing.

Apple Mix

  • 4 cups tinned apples
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 1/4 cup water

Crumble

  • 1 1/2 cups maple roasted pecan granola
  • 120 grams butter (chopped and softened (if needed you can use oil or a vegan butter substitute))
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional, but we think it's worth it)
  • 1/3 cup flour of your choice (we use a gluten free or spelt flour)
  1. Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced
  2. Combine tinned apples, lemon juice, vanilla paste and water in small saucepan over low-medium heat. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes or until apple is slightly softened.
  3. To make the crumble, combine flour of your choice and coconut sugar, maple roasted pecan granola and butter in a bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  4. Transfer apples into a ovenproof baking dish, draining off most of the liquid
  5. Sprinkle crumble mixture over the apples
  6. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden
  7. Serve warm with ice-cream, vanilla yoghurt or whipped cream
