Almond Date Energy Bites

Overview

These energy balls are full of the good stuff plus some chocolate because DUH! CHOCOLATE.

I’ve been eating them before my workouts, and sometimes mid day for a pick me up! They’re super easy to make and make a ton! Hope you love them as much as I do!

  • 3 cups rolled oats

Method

In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients except the chocolate. Dough will appear grainy, but should stick together when you make a ball.

Form 1” balls and place on parchment paper. When ready to store, place them in a closed container in the refrigerator. They should last about a week!
