Recipe: Raw Date Balls

By Pamela Schmidlin, Certified Health Coach, Certified Dog Trainer, Professional Photographer/Videographer

This recipe is fast and easy, and all it takes are two ingredients (or three if you make two versions!). Give it try I know you'll love this sweet treat! And they are dog friendly so you have a treat that you can share with your dog!

Six Legged Companion Date Balls

(yes, I named these for a date night treat to have with you dog!)

Ingredients: Dates (medjool), with pits

Unsweetened Shredded Coconut

Carob Powder (you can use raw or roasted)

Step One: Take the pits out of the dates and put into a bowl

Step Two: Put dates into blender with coconut (or carob powder- or both) and blend them together until you get a nice dough

Step Three: Once you have a nice dough take the mixture and roll into small balls (munchkin size)

Step Four: Take some more shredded coconut and/ or carob powder and roll the balls in them to coat the outside

Step Five: Place finished balls on a plate or in a container to store for later

Step Six: ENJOY with your dog!

*Dates, Carob, and Coconuts are all safe for your dog and are not toxic to them.

The Start of Something New!

I know everyone and anyone today has a blog or a vlog.....BUT here I am going to blog everyday to bring you information on what you want to know about. I want to share with you some of my experiences about becoming a vegetarian and later a vegan. Living a vegan lifestyle. Reasons to make the change to the lifestyle and well believe it or not some reason not to make the transition. Ways to improve your health, while improving the world around you. Helping you make everyday choices in your life more healthier, happier, and beneficial to ALL is my mission with this blog!

I will be bringing you awesome new recipes, info on everything you can imagine that you need to know about (yet that our government thinks we do not need to know!), new exercises and stretches you can do to get you moving and prevent injuries and all, info on living with your dog(s) or any animals in harmony, and so much more. So check back everyday for more exciting info on anything new and good for you and your dog!

Skyler, Sandy, and Candycane are my counterparts on this blog and vlog and you will see them here as well.....while I gather info on the people portion of things- they'll be gathering the info on the animal portion and before we bring it to you, we will collaborate and combine the info just for you and your best animal friends!

So let's get started, I'm also looking for feedback from you so that I can cover as much as possible in my blogs and vlogs.
