Date & Nut Energy Bites

These little date and nut balls are the perfect afternoon snack during the day or before or after the gym. The nuts and seeds I use are just a guideline so feel free to add your favorites to this recipe to customize it to what you like.

Ingredients:
1 cup pitted dates
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup oats
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup pepitas
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp peanut butter

Directions:
1. Add dates to food processor and pulse several times until they begin to break up
2. Add almonds, sunflower seeds, oats, coconut and pepitas, pulse several times until dough comes together but is still crumbly
3. Pour mixture into a large bowl and add honey and peanut butter. With a wooden spoon (or your hands, which work best) mix all ingredients together. Scoop 2 tablespoons worth of mixture and form into a ball using your hands. Once all balls are formed, refrigerate for 1 hour to let balls set. Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
