Date Energy Balls
Report
Date Energy Balls are a healthy snack that tastes like cookie dough! All you need is 5 simple ingredients to make them, with no added sugar.

Ingredients
- 1 cup Medjool dates , pitted
- 1 cup walnuts (or other nuts/seeds)
- ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- In a large food processor fitted with an "S" blade, add the pitted dates, walnuts, coconut, vanilla extract, and salt. Process briefly, until the mixture looks crumbly.
- As soon as the mixture sticks together when pressed between your fingers, it's ready to roll into balls. Be careful not to over-process the mixture, as it can become quite greasy when blended for too long.
- Use a 1-ounce cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop the mixture, then roll it between your hands to form balls. (Sometimes you'll need to squeeze it first to stick together, then roll into balls.) Repeat the process with the remaining mixture, until you've made roughly 18 date balls.
- You can enjoy these date balls right away at room temperature, or store them in an airtight container with a lid. They will keep well in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes
- Nutrition information is for 1 date ball, assuming you get 18 from this recipe. This information is automatically calculated, and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
- For variations and substitution ideas, be sure to see the FAQ section in this post.
- Update Note: This recipe originally called for 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to help the mixture break down faster, but I find that it can make the date balls greasy if you process them too long, so now that's been removed. Feel free to add in the coconut oil, if you find your mixture is looking too dry.
