Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients for the energy balls to a food processor. Process until all of the ingredients are combined and a very thick dough forms. You may need to stop the food processor a couple of times to scrape the sides with a rubber spatula in order to help blend the ingredients.
- Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, blending well in between each addition, until the energy ball mixture is easy to press together. For me, this took 3 tablespoons of water. Note: you can also use a little fresh lemon juice instead of water if you'd like.
- Form balls out of the energy bite mixture, making any size you would like. I make 18 balls.
- Store in a zip lock bag or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Freeze in a zip lock bag for up to 3 months.
Notes
- *Use any well-stirred nut or seed butter you like. Just note that you’ll be able to taste peanut butter and sunflower seed butter.
