Paleo Almond Balls
A healthy dessert that leaves you feeling fueled not full.

All of us moms are just trying to do the best we can to keep ourselves and our families healthy. Amiright? The truth is, though we mean well, most of us are sabotaging our efforts with poor food choices and LOADS of sugar; especially desserts.

My own poor food choices led me to a life of gut issues I am still working through today, but on a happy maintenance level. I’m no longer in pain and bloated thanks to this 11-Day Jumpstart. I refuse to let my kids walk this path of gut-related discomforts too, and so in my own quest for healing, I find recipes like these Almond Balls that they love too, so we can all enjoy eating healthy sweets and never feel deprived of the good-tasting foods we love.

This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, paleo, and vegan if you use the right chocolate. If you would have told me this 6 months ago, I would have assumed that meant they tasted like bitter cardboard with a weird texture, but that’s SO not the case. I am elated that I have finally discovered how to eat healthy when I don’t like most vegetables and I am dessert’s biggest fan. More on how I did that later. For now, the recipe:

Filling:
Chocolate coating:
  • 2/3 cup cocoa nibs/chocolate chips - dark or semi-sweet
  • 2 tsp coconut oil
  1. In a medium bowl mix together all Filling ingredients until a cookie dough consistency forms.
  2. Roll the dough into bite-sized balls and place on a parchment paper. Put in the fridge or freeze for a few minutes for a good set.
  3. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave in 20 second increments, stirring often, until melted.
  4. Dip almond balls into the melted chocolate to coat and place back on parchment paper to set. Freeze for fast set.
  5. Enjoy!
We find these almond balls to be sweet enough to kick a chocolate craving, but if you’d like them to be a little sweeter go ahead and add a teaspoon or 2 of honey, coconut sugar, stevia, or pure maple syrup.

Now, more on how I learned how to eat healthy in a way that flushes inflammation from my body and leaves me feeling energized, pain and bloat free even though I hate most vegetables.

In my search for a solution to my chronic constipation, gut pains, and bloated belly I decided to listen to a friend who invited me to try the 11-Day Jumpstart with her. After a year of watching others in our circle go through it , dropping weight, feeling energized, and shouting its praises, while I was still trying to figure things out on my own, I finally tried it for myself. Friends, I have never felt so good, despite turning 41 last week. Yes, I feel better in my 40’s than I did in my 20s. I have more energy, my joints quit cracking whenever I bend down, and I no longer get asked if I’m pregnant again because I’m not bloated. Another cool thing about flushing inflammation is weight melts off.

If you too want to enjoy more energy and freedom in your body, I invite you to try the Jumpstart out for yourself. It's free btw. You just need to pick up the Juice that is the main activator in the whole thing. Anyway, Here is what it is.. Let me know if you want in. 

It is extremely fulfilling as  a mother to be able to show my kids that making healthy choices doesn't have to be hard or a drag.

Meet Jackie Schmaltz

 
Hi! I'm Jackie Schmaltz, a ND farm wife, mom of 3, entrepreneur and wellness enthusiast. I love helping other moms live their healthiest, happiest, purpose-driven, best lives ever; even when they think they're too overwhelmed and busy. I have already helped thousands achieve this, and I'm ready to help you!

When I look back on my own journey that started 10 years ago and remember where I was and the struggles I was dealing with daily…..low energy, sick all the time, super bad digestive issues like chronic constipation and serious stomach pains, and oh yeah…I was broke too. 😉 But then something amazing happened….I found a solution….a better way of doing life! Along this journey I got pregnant with my first child (on purpose). And as any mother knows…..you want to do everything in your power to give your child the best life possible. So for me, that meant taking my health seriously and getting my bank account on track too (without having to get a "real job"). That was 10 years ago and friends, I have NOT looked back since!

Through lots of trial and error (and A LOT of reading and mentorship!), along with implementing some key principles into my everyday routine….I finally figured out what worked for ME and how I want to live. And now? Well let's just say it's a whole new ballgame……..my energy is through the roof most days, my digestion is 100% normal (no more pain!!), AND……..I've even managed to get out of debt and live financially independent in case something were to ever happen to my husband. So believe me when I say: it IS possible to find YOUR savvy life……you just need someone who has been there before to help guide you on your journey!
