Coconut Turmeric Bites

I loved these!  This was amazing.  Before my 12 mile run, I had three of these and one Chocolate Energy Shot.

I felt amazing.  I drank water, but had no need to re-fuel during the run, even though I was carrying some dried apricots and dates for during the run.  These are really yummy as well and anti-inflammatory, so I seriously recommend these.  They are also no-bake, so they can whipped up on a hot day, no problem.  They are also both Paleo and AutoImmune Protocal (AIP).

Inflammation by the way doesn't just affect those with autoimmune diagnoses, but also is the root cause for other problems such as cardiovascular disease, inability to lose weight, chronic pain, headaches, etc.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Vanilla Cake Batter Coconut Butter (you can use other Coconut butters too, but I just though the flavor of this one would go really well with the turmeric. 
• 3/4 cup shredded coconut
• 1 TBS coconut milk
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• 2 tsp turmeric
• 1/2 tsp coconut oil
• pinch of black pepper (don't use for strict AIP)
• 1 TBS raw honey (optional). 
• Shredded coconut for coating the outside of the bites. 

Instructions:

1. Add the coconut butter and coconut to mixing bowl and stir well to combine.  The coconut butter should be soft, but not melted. 
2. Add the remaining ingredients and combine. 
3. Roll them into about 1" balls with your hands, then roll in the coconut flakes. 
4. Place on a plate lined with parchment paper (I used the teeny little silicone muffin cups - they are the perfect size). 
5. Place in the regrigerator and chill.  
6. Enjoy!!
