Almond Joy Anyone? (Recipe) page

[PrimalGoddess]

ok I experimented with a recipe tonight and it tasted like an almond Joy! even my non-primal hubby thought so! here is what I did


Primal Almond Joy


1 scoop chocolate protien powder

2 tb coconut oil

2 pkts xylitol

1 tsp almond butter

1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut(I used Bob's Red Mill brand)

and (guestimating) about 1/4 cup coconut milk


you want it on the (just moist side but not runny) just until it can form a big ball.

mix all in a bowl and eat! very very filling!

this would probally make a great quickie breakfast too when you get tired of bacon and eggs

I think at Christmas I will roll these in tiny balls and put on wax paper and freeze then drizzle melted dark chocolate over them for a Primal holiday treat!

PG, this will be my bf for tomorrow! (Ive overdosed on eggs this week).

Thanks for the recipe!

[PrimalGoddess]

me too I was looking for something quick to eat and be filling and not eggs lol ..I love eggs but need to take a wee break from them! Let me know how you like it iceskater! xox Darlene

These turned out great! Mmmmm-it was the perfect way to finish off my supply of coconut. I wish my primal 'experiments' turned out as well as yours.


Im not familiar with using xylitol-is it similar to stevia? I used that instead.


Thanks again!

[PrimalGoddess]

thank you ..glad you liked it! I figured it tonight(with my protien Powder) about 4 1/2 carbs for the whole thing! Stevia is fine but I can't take it, tastes like black licorce to me...xylitol is made from bark as I understand it but that is my drug ..ahem.. I mean sweetner of choice lol xoox Darlene

a quick word about xylitol... it can be made from birch bark or corn. gotta check with each manufacturer/brand to see which one they use. KAL brand uses corn, at least as of a few months ago. We are corn sensitive and it was a problem for us, even tiny amounts.


recipe looks yummy, though.

let's see my brand is Xylo Sweet and I also use NOW brand. so I am not sure...............xoox Darlene

P.S you don't have to use Xylitol you can use whatever sweetner turns you on...
