We’ve had a very mild winter here in Virginia. Being a person who doesn’t tolerate the cold very well, I should be grateful, but I missed the snow! We had a small dusting this past weekend and it was so fun to bundle up and trudge around in with my dog, Harper. When we got back inside I decided to create my own snowballs, so I can always have some on hand in case an impromptu snowball fight breaks out indoors.
These Vegan Superfood Snowballs pair the flavors of vanilla, coconut, and lucuma to make a uniquely delicious combination! I bought a bag of the superfood fruit Lucuma powder a while back and haven’t used it enough, so I threw it in these Snowballs for extra antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals! I like to roll my “snowballs” in some shredded coconut for the full snowy effect, but they’re also great to eat straight from the blender base.
