Description
A healthy and tasty snack to keep those cravings at bay!
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 dates (about 1/3 cup)
- 1/8 cup almonds
- 1 tbsp unsweetened coconut
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Soak the dates for 1 hour. After 1 hour add the dates (no water) to the food processor. Pulse 20-30 times until the dates turn into a chunky paste.
- Add the almonds to the food processor and pulse until the almonds are ground into very small pieces. Add in the coconut and sea salt. Pulse a few times.
- The mixture should come together very easily now. Form into 6 balls (about 1 tablespoon of mixture per ball). Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge.
- If you make a big batch keep the extra in the freezer.
Notes
Variations
- You can use any nut here that you like… cashew or pecan would have been tasty too.
- Don’t do nuts? Use pumpkin or sunflower seeds instead.
- Some orange zest would add some refreshing flavor to these treats. I will definitely add this next time.
- If you don’t like coconut no worries, just leave it out. You’ll still get the long lasting energy from the nuts.
