Blueberry Energy Bites
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Nour dates pitted
- 1 cup cashews almonds or walnuts would work here too
- 2 ½ tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 1/3 cup freeze dried blueberries
Instructions
- Put the dates, cashews, almond butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt in your food processor, and pulse the blender a few times. Then, continuously blend the mixture for about 1 minute until everything is incorporated, and the mixture can pinch together and stick together.
- Add the freeze dried blueberries, and pulse until the blueberries are incorporated into the mixture in tiny bits.
- Use a tablespoon or a spoon to scoop the mixture, packing it into the measuring spoon. Use your hands to roll the energy bite into a round ball. Continue with the rest of the energy bite mixture. This recipe makes about 18 tablespoon sized energy bites.
Notes
- These energy bites keep in the pantry for a month, or in the fridge or freezer for 3 months.
- If you are nut free, I have used sunbutter and sunflower seeds for energy bites before with great success! you will use less sunflower seeds, so play around with the amount - it will probably be more like 3/4 cup or a little less.
- You can use medjool dates if that is what you have. Just pit and halve them to measure.
- You can swap the freeze dried blueberries for any freeze dried fruit!
- This recipe doubles well if you have a large enough food processor, like my 14-cup food processor.
