I agree! i had to chop for 10 seconds on speed 5.
Yummo! Thanks for sharing
These are great for me. I'm breastfeeding so need something that will sustain me quickly. I changed the mesquite powder to brewer's yeast which makes them great lactation balls
thank you!
yum
Just made these today. I didn't have popcorn So used almonds. Also,mesquite powder... Had no idea what that was so used a bit of protein powder. Pretty yummy but a tad sticky from the honey.
As an update - they were much nicer the next day after being refrigerated overnight.
The ingredients cost $60 and they were dry, bitter and not very tasty. Not sure what to do with Mesquite powder now - could not buy any ingredients in small quantities.
The family loved them!
I replaced the popcorn with puffed corn, the cacao with cocoa, and the mesquite powder with quinoa flour and they are still delicious. I found I needed to chop at a faster speed and for longer at step 2.
Mesquite powder or flour
Used as a staple food for centuries by desert dwellers, this high protein meal contains good quantities of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc, and is rich in the amino acid lysine as well. Its low GI of 25 helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Mesquite flour not only stabilises blood sugar but it also tastes great: sweet with a slightly nutty wild flavour and a hint of caramel. It blends well into smoothies or other drinks, especially those made with Cacao and Maca.
My wife got it from a natural food store.
