Date Energy Balls
Ingredients: *Use organic ingredients when possible
2 Cups Walnuts, or other nut/seed of choice
1 Cup Shredded unsweetened
2 Cups Soft Medjool dates, pitted
½ tsp Sea salt
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions:
• In a large food processor fitted with
an “S” blade, process the walnuts
and coconut until crumbly.
• Add in the dates, vanilla and sea salt
and process again until a sticky,
uniform batter is formed. (You can
add a tablespoon of coconut oil,
only if needed to help the mixture
come together) You don’t want to
over process, or the batter will
become oily, so process until
crumbly, but sticky when pressed
between your fingers.
• Scoop dough by heaping
tablespoons, and then roll between
your hands to form balls.
Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then place in the fridge or
freezer to set for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store in a sealed container in
the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for an even longer shelf life.
*For a gourmet-looking truffle, you can roll them in shredded coconut or cacao powder
before chilling.
