Date Energy Balls
I like making these date energy balls with cashews. They remind me of the cashew cookie Larabar.

Notes
- Hard/dry dates: If your dates are hard and dry, you can soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes to soften. Just drain them well before using.
- Protein powder: If you want to add protein powder to this recipe, reduce the amount of nuts to 1/3 cup and add 2 Tablespoons of protein powder (about 10 grams).
