I make these from a mixture of figs, nuts, sesame seeds, and oatmeal-uncooked and organic, says tennis star Martina Navratilova. They keep me going at matches, where sometimes you still find players drinking sodas, of all things, and I snack on them before and during a workout. Prep and Cook Time: about 15 minutes. Notes: Use any kind of nut you like-almonds, peanuts, walnuts, pecans, pine nuts. Although Navratilova likes her nuts raw, we thought they were good toasted too. Ingredients:
1/3 cup honey |
1/4 cup plain (not unsweetened) soy milk |
unsweetened flaked or shredded dried coconut |
1 cup regular |
1 tablespoon sesame seeds |
1/4 cup nuts (see notes), chopped |
4 dried figs, chopped (soak in water if necessary to make them pliable) |
Directions:
1. Bring honey and soy milk in a medium saucepan to a boil over high heat; boil 1 minute. Set aside. Put coconut on a plate or in a shallow bowl and set aside.
2. In a food processor, pulse oats, sesame seeds, nuts, and figs until finely ground. Add to honey mixture in saucepan and stir together. Wet your hands with water and roll 1-tbsp. portions of mixture into balls; then roll in coconut.
