Here is our favorite version to get you started. Remember, the point is to have fun with these; experiment with different combinations and use the freshest and most simple ingredients keep it healthy, keep you going with clean fuel, and keep your snacks guilt free!
What you need:
- 2 cups of nuts (cashews, almonds, or peanuts)
- 1 cup of unsweetened coconut (shredded or flakes)
- 1 cup of dates; we recommend Medjool dates (make sure they are pitted)
- 2 spoonfuls of coconut oil
- spoonful of local organic honey or 100 percent vanilla extract
- Just a pinch of Himalayan Sea Salt
- add any berries you would like; we like goji berries and golden berries to add some flavor
What to do:
- Prepare ingredients and add to food processor.
- Blend until everything is mixed together nicely and begins to form a nice clumpy, paste-like appearance. It will take a little bit of processing to get the natural oils in the dates and nuts to come out and start holding everything together.
- Once everything is mixed together, start to roll the mix into small bites. You can use a melon ball scoop, or just get in there with your hands!
- Arrange your bites in a container and store them in the freezer or in the fridge. We like starting in the freezer to get everything to set up.
Lastly, Enjoy! You have a healthy, portable, snack. Get up, get out, get moving!
