Date Balls

Want a great snack that is healthy and will satisfy your sweet tooth?? Try going on a “date” with these date balls.  They are super easy, no oven or stove needed and minimal ingredients….

• 1 cup raw organic almonds
• 1 cup fresh dates (about 8 dates), pitted
• 2 tablespoons cacao (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
• dash of sea salt

1. Place almonds, cacao and shredded coconut into a high-speed blender or food processor. Process on high until ingredients are a flour-like consistency.

2. Add the remaining ingredients to the blender/processor and blend on medium to high until fully incorporated into the dry ingredients.

3. Dump the mixture into a bowl. Take a tablespoon worth of the mixture in between your hands, rolling to form a ball. Repeat until all of the mixture is used.

4. Store in a sealed container for up to 5 days.
