  1. Hi Sara I'm hypoglycemic do you think your cocoa nut balls would be ok with the dates? I'm concerned about blood sugar spikes and this is the whole reason I'm going carb free. Any ideas what I could swap most of the dates for? Maybe 5 dates with coconut oil?

    Just found your blog as I searched for NZ Paleo :)

    1. Hi Miriam, when you say hypoglycemia and no carbs - do you need you are on a ketogenic diet? Thanks, Sara
