Date & Nut Bites: sweet and nutritious, these post-workout snack or dessert are the perfect choice. Rich in nutrients without added sugars.
Ingredients
1 cup dates, soaked in warm water for 10 minutes and drained
½ cup dried cranberries or cherries, soaked in warm water for 10 minutes and drained
1 cup raw almonds
½ cup raw pecans
¾ tsp ground cinnamon
¾ tsp ground ginger
⅛ tsp sea salt (about a pinch)
toppings: shredded raw coconut, raw hemp seeds
Instructions
Place all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until mixture comes together and can be pressed into a ball.
Roll date/nut mixture into bite-sized shapes. If you moisten your hands, the mixture will stick to you less. As an alternative, you could shape these into small bars for something different.
Roll into toppings if desired
Place on freezer tray, freeze for a few hours until firm, and store
These bites are great straight from the freezer, or fridge. They're best served cold, but can be room temp too. I love them as a post-workout snack, dessert, or fast, grab-and-go breakfast treat.
