Categories     Snack

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup nut butter ((we like almond, peanut, cashew, or sunflower))
3-5 pitted medjool dates* ((add more for sweeter bites))
2/3 cup hemp seeds
1/4 cup chia seeds ((or sub other seeds, such as sesame or flax))
3-4 Tbsp protein powder*
Melted dark chocolate ((dairy-free as needed - we like Enjoy Life))
Hemp seeds
Desiccated coconut
Sea salt

Steps:

  • Add nut butter, pitted dates, hemp seeds, chia seeds, and protein powder to a food processor and blend until all ingredients are well combined and a cookie dough-like texture forms (see photo).
  • If too wet, add more dry ingredients of choice, such as protein powder or hemp seeds. If too crumbly or dry, add a little more nut butter. NOTE: These are meant to be on the tender side, so don't be concerned if they're a little soft (they'll firm up in the refrigerator or freezer).
  • Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more protein powder of choice for flavor or more dates for sweetness (if adding more dates, chop first to encourage even blending). Mix again until well combined.
  • Scoop out rounded 1 Tbsp amounts and roll into balls (as recipe is written, ~20 // we love this scoop). Place on a parchment-lined plate or platter.
  • Roll the balls in hemp seeds or desiccated coconut, or melt some dark chocolate in a double boiler on the stovetop, or in 20-second increments in the microwave, then spoon a small amount over the bites (all optional). Top with coconut or sea salt for added flavor (also optional).
  • Transfer balls to the freezer or refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes to firm up. We recommend storing these in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer up to 1 month for best texture. They are delicious straight out of the refrigerator or freezer and tend to soften at room temperature.
