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.

Chocolate Pecan Crunch

Chocolate Pecan Crunch

This little slice is packed full of protein and healthy fats. It will keep you going all day as a mid morning snack, pre gym work out boost or as a healthy indulgence. Difficulty 3/4.

  • 2 cups pecan kernal (Purchase <a href="https://www.barefootfarmbyron.com/shop/natural-raw-pecans-1kg/" target="_blank"> here)
  • 2 cups water kefir optional for soaking (Soaking pecans for 12 hours in water kefir will activate the pecans, making nutrient uptake easier for the body. It also releases the natural sweetness of the pecan removing any need for any kind of sweetness.)
  • 1 cup nut butter (I use almond or macadamia butter)
  • 1/3 cup raw cacao powder
  • 1 cup almond meal
  • 1/2 cup coconut shredded or desiccated
  • 1/4 cup pepitas
  • 1 tsp salt (I use Himalayan rock salt, Murry River pink salt is a good alternative)
  • 1/2 vanilla bean pod (Split open and run a knife down the bean to extract the sticky seeds. Use the seeds not pod. Vanilla powder is a good alternative.)
  • 5 drops wild orange essential oil, food grade (Or to taste)

Chocolate topping

  • 1/3 cup raw cocoa powder
  • 1 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup coconut cream (Tip: Open can of coconut cream and set in the fridge for 1 hour, spoon out set cream off the top. Allow to warm to room temperature before using)
  • 2 tsp sweetener of your choice (Can leave out if you wish)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  1. Drain pecans if soaked in water kefir.
  2. Place pecans in food processor and process until a meal is formed, add nut butter, cocao powder, coconut oil and process until combined.
  3. Add all other remaining ingredients and process until combined.
  4. Taste, If you would like it a little sweeter add 2tsp of honey or maple syrup.
  5. If following a Keto eating plan add 1 tsp of monk fruit extract.
  6. Line a slice tray with a silicon baking parchment.
  7. Place mix into slice tray and press out evenly.
    TIP: Place a layer of cling wrap over the mix and flatten the cling wrap with your hands. This will stop your hands from getting sticky.
  8. Place in the fridge for 2 hours to set.

Chocolate topping

  1. Combine ingredients in food processor and drizzle onto set slice or pour on for a top layer.
    Tip: Sandwich bag filled with topping makes a great piping bag for latticing.

  2. Return to fridge to set.

Cut, serve and best of all share.

Will keep stored in the fridge for 3 weeks.
