Yields8 Servings
Prep Time5 minsCook Time25 minsTotal Time30 mins
 1 cup walnuts or nut of choice (almond, pecan, etc). Use unsalted raw nuts.
 ¼ cup sunflower seeds
 1 tbsp hemp seeds or hemp powder
 1 tbsp ground chia seed or ground flaxseed
 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla vegan protein powder. I suggest Growing Naturals Protein or any protein powder with 200mg of sodium or less per serving.
 ¼ cup raw cacao or carob powder
 10 pitted medjool dates (adjust for sweetness)
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 0.5-2 tbsp water (refer to directions)
1

Add all ingredients, EXCEPT dates and water, into a food processor or blender and pulse to break up the nuts and seeds. Then add in dates and blend until mixture sticks together.

Add in 0.5 tbsp of water at a time SLOWLY until mixture sticks together a bit more and is clay-like. You might not need to add 2 tbsp. It may be less. Don't add too much water. The balls should NOT be doughy or mushy.

2

Using your hands, roll into balls and place onto a parchment lined dish. Wet hands if mixture sticks to your hands which it will! Keep wetting hands so you can form the balls without it sticking to hands.

3

Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to slightly harden.

4

The bites will last about 1 week in the fridge or you can freeze. If frozen, heat up for 15-30 seconds in the microwave for a delicious warm treat!
