Tastes like cookies....It aint cookies

Vegan Cookie dough balls

So basically im feeling super inspired at the moment to be healthy and toned and all the jazz. Did myself a little internetting and came across this recipe on http://www.mindbodygreen.com/ , the website is packed full of great ways to improve your mental and physical health in fun and easy ways. (definitely worth a visit) .

Ingredients

  • 16onces (2 tesco tins) of cooked chickpeas, rinsed and drained 
  • 3tablespoons of organic honey or agave nectar.
  • 1tablespoon coconut palm sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon of backing soda
  • 4tablespoons of almond butter
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla
  • pinch of salt
  • vegan chocolate chips. 
Whiz everything except the chocolate chips in a processor till smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips, keeping some back for melting later. Roll of mixture into small bite size balls and freeze. Once they are fairly frozen (i didnt have the patients) roll them in the melted remaining chocolate and pop back in the freezer for extra fast cooling. 

I know this whole chickpea business really sound sketchy but all the ingredients really work together to create quite a pleasant surprise. Happy eating people.
