ALMOND PULP REESE'S BALLS INGREDIENTS

• Almond Pulp Is an excellent source of fiber. Don't throw that pulp away! One thing to note is that you want to make sure you squeeze ALL the liquid out. If you notice the pulp is still really damp even after you squeezed it, you should pat it dry in a towel before adding it to the food processor.

• Creamy Peanut Butter. I like to use the creamy peanut butter because I want these to be very smooth. But, if you want a bit of crunch in yours, add crunchy peanut butter. For those with food allergies, almond butter or cashew butter is a great alternative. Make sure you are buying ALL NATURAL peanut butter. The ingredient label should say nothing other than "peanuts."

• Pure Vanilla Extract. The same goes with vanilla, make sure you are buying PURE vanilla extract.

• Pink Sea Salt. You've probably read the debates on "regular salt" vs "sea salt." Well okay, salt is salt. But do you want to eat bleached salt? Me either. That's why I use unrefined pink sea salt.

• Pure Maple Syrup. While it is a sweetener and when eaten in excess would raise your blood sugars and cause unnecessary weight gain... in moderation it is a great sugar alternative! Pure maple syrup actually contains an essential nutrient called manganese.

• Coconut Flour. This is optional only use it if your almond pulp ball batter is very sticky. It will absorb a lot of liquid, so if you don't have sticky batter and add it, you will have a cake-like texture.

• Dark Chocolate Chips. If you want to use cacao nibs or a dark chocolate bar this would be an easy and nutritious substitution. I always say, the darker chocolate the better. Look for >80% cacao.

HOW TO MAKE REESE'S ALMOND PULP ENERGY BALLS

1: Pat your almond pulp dry and make sure it is not wet at all.

2: Add the almond pulp, creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, sea salt, and maple syrup to a blender. Pulse until the mixture is smooth.

3: Check and see if the batter is sticky. It should not stick to your hands. If it is sticky, read below.

4: Pulse in the chocolate chips or chocolate bar. The longer you pulse it, the more blended in the chocolate will be.

5: Roll into bite sized balls and enjoy!

If your batter is sticky:

Add 1 tablespoon of coconut flour. Pulse it into the batter. Let the batter sit for ~10 minutes. The coconut flour is HIGHLY absorbent, so it will absorb any excess liquids.. it just takes a few minutes to work its magic.

By now, it should not be sticky.

But if your batter is still sticky, just repeat the process with an additional tablespoon of coconut flour!

HOW TO STORE ALMOND PULP BALLS

Since almond milk uses fresh raw almonds, these don't store for a SUPER long time.

Store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If you anticipate you need to store them for longer than that, quickly eat them.

Haha, just kidding, throw them in the freezer for longer term storage!
