Preparation:
Trail Mix Bites
Makes 24 Trail Mix Bites
Ingredients: Use Organic
1 cup pecans
1 cup pumpkin seeds
½ cup coconut flakes
(plus 1 additional cup coconut flakes)
½ cup raisins
½ cup chocolate chips
8 Medjool dates (soaked in water for 20 minutes)
2 Tablespoons sunflower butter (or almond butter)
2 Tablespoons Garden of Life Golden Flaxseed
1 Tablespoons Garden of Life Coconut Oil
12 Vol 34 • Extraordinary Health ™
1 Tablespoon water (you can use
the water that the dates were
soaking in)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Remove dates from water after 20
minutes and make sure there are no
pits in them. Break them in half and
place them in a food processor with
the remaining ingredients, except
for the additional 1 cup of coconut
flakes. Pulse until batter begins to
stick together. Remove batter from
food processor and refrigerate for
about 15 minutes (this will make
it easier to roll cookie balls). Roll
tablespoon-sized cookie bites (“trail
mix bites”) and then coat in coconut
flakes and place back in refrigerator.
Store bites in refrigerator for up to
one week or in the freezer for up to
2 months.
