For those of you who asked for the recipe.. Here you go!
My
favorite date balls!!
Great for road trips, quick snacks
on the go, post or pre-workout snacks, and middle of the day sweet tooth
satisfaction. Mmmmmmmmm…
Ingredients:
- 2 cup pitted dates (soaked in hot water for 15 minutes)
or until soft.
- 1 cup almonds (I like mine roasted)
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- ½ cup cashews
- ½ cup peanuts
- 1 Tbs. vanilla extract (optional)
- Shredded coconut (optional)
- Sea Salt (optional)
1. Place dates in small bowl, and
cover with 3/4 cup boiling water. Let stand 15 minutes. Drain.
2. Add coconut oil in with the dates
and blend them up together to form a smooth consistency. If you plan to use
vanilla extract, add vanilla in this step.
3. Process all nuts in food
processor until finely chopped. I like to process the nuts separately into
different textures and sizes. It’s nice to have different textures in your date
balls. Sometimes I even process the peanuts into smooth peanut butter.
4. Don’t be scared to get your hands
dirty. Roll date mixture with the nuts into
tablespoon-size balls. You can make them as dense as you want them.
5. Keep in fridge or freezer. I like
the texture best when it is in the freezer.
