DATE ENERGY BALLS

This recipe is from my daughter. They like it very much. I have to yet try it.

2 cups walnuts or pecans or nut/seed of your choice
1 cup shredded coconut
2 cups pitted dates
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

In a food processor process the nuts and the coconut until crumbly. Add in dates, coconut oil, vanilla and sea salt and process until sticky, uniform batter is formed. ( I had to process my in batches because my food processor is not big enough, I just rocessed everything separately and mixed them all together in a big bowl)

Scoop the dough bu heaping tablespoons and form it into a ball. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer ( or fridge) for atleast one hour. Store the balls in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week or frozen for longer.

You can also roll the balls in coca powder or shredded coconut before putting them in the fridge and chilling.
