Yield 1 dozen
Ingredients
- 2 handfuls Raw Nuts or Nut Flour
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds (optional)
- 10 large Dates, pitted and soaked in boiling water for 5 minutes and drained
- 4 or 5 Dried Apple Rings, Apricots or Figs
- 1/2 teaspoon Coarse Sea Salt
- 1 scoop Protein Powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons dried unsweetened Coconut (optional)
Instructions
- Whirl the Nuts in the Vitamix until very fine, but not butter
- Remove to a large bowl and toss in the Salt, Chia Seed, Protein Powder and Coconut
- Add the Apple Rings or other fruit on the bottom (this helps prevent the machine from overworking)
- Add the Dates and pulse, tamping down the fruit into the blade until it is all blended in
- Use a rubber spatula and scrape into the bowl with the Nuts
- Using your hands, mix everything into a large ball. You may need to add more ground nuts
- Don't make it too dry, it should stick together nicely
- You can store it in plastic or like this in the fridge and form into balls as you need them or make them all into balls, wrap and store individually.
