Ha ha! I figured one a day. I'm on a walk now and rushing back to have one with coffee when I get back!

Here's a pic of the delicious turd ball!

You have ruined my fantasy that nut balls would be like snickers bars that had been rolled into magical spheres by angels!

Well you could make them with more finesse and dip them in chocolate once hardened. They do taste good though! Like a healthy ferrero Roche

My problem is I would have to padlock my fridge if I had 30 lovely nutty balls in there. They would be calling out to me
 
Just make ten then or freeze them!

Or just make them more turd like so you're not tempted?!

LOL Freezing is a good idea. Will definitely give these a go now that I have a load of coconut oil
 
Am I the only one who has totally and permanently lost my appetite to even think about nut balls now? :-|
 
I've always been obsessed by food so can't really relate but this low carbing has definitely reduced my appetite!

thank you for this deb. I really must buy some coconut oil - I keep looking at it but the price puts me off. However not alot is used at a time so it should last a while.

I have to say though that freezing would not prevent me from eating them - I have an addiction to frozen chocolate and peanut butter brownies
 

Look out for holland and Barrett penny sale and buy it then. So much cheaper! None of this healthy food is cheap!

Breakfast 2 quorn sausages- I've discovered if you cook them a little bit too long they do actually taste a bit sausagey- mushrooms, toms
Lunch cold chicken, stir fry veg and 15g Makway curry made up- as BS was 5 at 2 hrs I'm calling that a win.
Dinner More cold chicken, cauli cheese and plate of green veg, bit gravy eaten whilst Mr E polished off a steak and ale Fray Bentos tinned pie with his veg- not something we would normally ever eat but found it lurking in pantry. The innards smelt lush so I'm going to get some braising steak and make my own with a splash of beer.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner: same as yesterday.

Pudding: nut ball thing

I made them today...only thing I changed was swapping agave for vanilla extract and a sprinkle of truvia. I put the mixture into the fridge for a while before making them into balls and they were easy to shape. They are very filling. The peanut butter is my favourite bit Thanks again, Deb!
 

I'm going to play about more with ingredients for the next batch and may even treat myself to a coffee grinder so I can get the nuts smaller and will add coconut too. I love them! Glad you do too x
