Date Energy Balls
I like making these date energy balls with cashews. They remind me of the cashew cookie Larabar.
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 1 cup about 10 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup raw nuts cashews, walnuts, almonds, pecans, etc.
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Process: Add dates, nuts and salt in a food processor fitted with the S-shaped blade. Process until mixture is well combined and sticking together.
- Form balls: Scoop dough from food processor with your hands (or a cookie scoop) and form into small balls using your hands. Enjoy right away or store for later.
- To store: Place balls into a sealed storage container and store in the fridge for 1-2 weeks or the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Hard/dry dates: If your dates are hard and dry, you can soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes to soften. Just drain them well before using.
- Protein powder: If you want to add protein powder to this recipe, reduce the amount of nuts to 1/3 cup and add 2 Tablespoons of protein powder (about 10 grams).
