Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Medjool dates pitted
  • 3/4 cup coconut unsweetened, shredded
  • 1/2 cup almond raw
  • 1/2 cup cashew nuts raw
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Process nuts: Place coconut, almonds and cashews into food processor fitted with the S-blade and pulse until everything is chopped into small pieces. Place nut mixture in a bowl and set aside.
  2. Process dates: Put dates into the food processor and pulse until a paste forms. The dates will probably form into a sticky ball. If they do, break about the ball a bit with your hands.
  3. Add remaining ingredients: Add nuts and coconut back into the processor with the dates and pulse until well combined. Add chocolate chips and pulse a few more times, until they’re just incorporated.
  4. Form balls: Once mixture is combined, use your hands (or a cookie scoop) to scoop and form the dough into balls, using about 1 Tablespoon of dough for each ball. Enjoy right away or store for later.
  5. To store: Store any leftovers in the fridge with parchment paper between them for 1-2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Soak hard or dry Medjool dates in warm water for 10-15 minutes to soften before processing. Drain thoroughly before use.
  • Store finished energy balls in the refrigerator with parchment paper separating layers for up to 1-2 weeks.
  • For longer storage, freeze energy balls for up to 3 months.
