RAW PALEO PUMPKIN BALLS - these taste fantastic!

I made these for my husband before his Scotia half marathon as a way to get some low glycemic carbohydrates to increase muscle glycogen reserves & get some healthy protein along with lots of vitamins and minerals.  They taste like pumpkin pie fulling.
