This recipe is my version of Nora Gedgaudas’ “Nut Ball Snackers” (primalbody-primalmind.com). Nora is a strong believer in the importance of a higher-fat (from quality natural sources), moderate-protein, and low-carbohydrate way of eating for ideal health (metabolically, emotionally and cognitively).
Her book, Primal Body, Primal Mind, takes a detailed look at the health and behaviors of our ancestors in comparison to our diet and diseases of today.
If you are looking for ideas on how to increase the good fats in your meal plan, these buttery morsels may be for you! Feel free to experiment with your own ingredients, but it’s important to keep the sugar OUT!
