1cupwalnuts or nut of choice (almond, pecan, etc). Use unsalted raw nuts.
¼cupsunflower seeds
1tbsphemp seeds or hemp powder
1tbspground chia seed or ground flaxseed
1scoop chocolate or vanilla vegan protein powder. I suggest Growing Naturals Protein or any protein powder with 200mg of sodium or less per serving.

10pitted medjool dates (adjust for sweetness)
1tspvanilla 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!
