Do you ever get excited about food?  It can be that five course dining experience or that homemade meal that just knocks your socks off.  If you answered yes, then you're going to understand why I'm so excited about this recipe for Cranberry & Pomegranate Energy Balls.  They not only taste amazing, but they're packed with healthy ingredients, like flax seed.  This New Year I'm looking to make healthier choices for my family and I as you might have noticed from recent love of essential oils.   I'm also thrilled to have partnered with two of my foodie favorite, Cupcakes & Kale Chips and Love Bakes Good Cakes to bring you #EatHealthy15 for the New Year.    We're going to help you make this next year the best!

IG challenge

These Cranberry & Pomegranate Energy Balls are one of my favorite snacks to grab before I head off to the gym.  You probably saw this shot just before I ran out the door.  The reason I love these is largely because I am a sucker for dried cranberries.  Actually, that's really not true.  I'm a sucker for cranberries in general as you can see from this list of recipes that include cranberries.

Cranberry Energy Balls

Our different recipes for Energy Balls are favorites of my girls as well.  They fit perfectly in their hands and the different flavor combinations like our Caramel Apple Cinnamon or Pumpkin Pie are huge hits.  We needed one a bit more perfect for Winter though.  I have a tendency to eat a ton of cranberries and pomegranates during the winter so these were a perfect flavor combination.  If you really want to know where the inspiration came from then you want to check out my Christmas Sangria.  Yummers!

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • ½ cup flax seeds
  • ½ cup almonds
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ½ pomegranate

Instructions

  • Clean the pomegranate seeds from half of a pomegranate. Making sure to remove the pith {the inside white part that sticks to the seeds} You can do this by placing the seeds in a bowl and filling it with water. The pith will rise to the top.
  • Add the dried cranberries, oats, flax seeds, almonds and honey to a food processor and process until it looks like a paste and a ball can be formed. If it is not paste like enough add in another ¼ cup of cranberries and a tablespoon of honey.
  • In order to create the balls with the pomegranate added, you'll need to make sure the pomegranates are dried off from being cleaned and then add them to the paste mixture.
  • Squeeze the pomegranates into the balls and make tablespoon size balls.

  23. najlepszy skup samochodów we Wrocławiu

    April 21, 2015 at 12:08 pm

    Dobry skup aut Wrocław to miejsce na którego wybranie z pewnością dobrze jest poświęcić odpowiednio dużo czasu.
    Powodem tego jest przede wszystkim fakt,
    iż jest tego typu miejsc w mieście coraz więcej i dlatego też panuje
    pomiędzy nimi rosnąca konkurencja. Jeżeli chodzi o to co oferuje skup samochodów Wrocław, to w pierwszej kolejności zainteresowani mogą
    tam sprzedać swoje auto, bez względu na to, w jakim jest
    stanie lub ile ma lat. Dlatego też dla wielu ludzi skup samochodów we Wrocławiu to niemalże wybawienie z sytuacji,
    dlatego że posiadają auto nie nadające się już do jazdy.
    Tego typu powypadkowe samochody to jednak obowiązek na przykład opłacania składki
    ubezpieczeniowej. Dlatego też każdy kto ma tego
    typupojazd szuka sposobu na to, żeby jak najszybciej go sprzedać.
    Każdy zainteresowany chce znaleźć zazwyczaj najlepszy skup aut
    Wrocław, gdyż w pierwszej kolejności liczy na to, iż uda
    mu się uzyskać za swój samochód o wiele lepszą stawkę.
    Obecnie skup aut we Wrocławiu bez problemu można wyszukać przykładowo w Internecie, bardzo szeroko się one bowiem tam ogłaszają, żeby
    dzięki temu dotrzeć do niezwykle dużej ilości zainteresowanych.
    Na pewno jednak jeżeli ktoś chciałby poznać idealną dla siebie propozycję, powinien w pierwszej kolejności zapoznać się z ofertą jak największej ilości takich firm,
    dzięki czemu można sprawdzić, która firma oferuje najlepsze warunki.

    As cell phones evolved into smart phones with internet access the options of games that
    could be played and downloaded on the phones too multiplied.
    Just as we thought the anticipation for Halo: Reach couldn't get any more
    momentum, Bungie decides to bubble over our already boiling expectations with a new trailer.
    On the web you will find there's great deal of fake website
    page's intended for Clash involving Clans compromise, needless to
    say I endeavored these, they have a tendency to be basically just about all fake, what When i was enjoyable you this
    can be a working hack and it also will continuously work and will about dependably

    I have had to add alot of extra cranberries and honey but still have trouble getting these to make balls. The pomegranate seeds won't stay in them either. I really wanted to love this recipe, however instead I will be removing from my pinterest.
