Today I am lovin' this recipe for energy balls! So many inappropriate jokes could be made about the name...I'll have to think of a new one, but for now they are energy balls and they are DELICIOUS! I have been needed a few quick snacks to take with me to work and this one fits the bill. Not only yummy but super easy.

This recipe can be made really quickly and makes quite a few little snacks!

Date-Almond Energy Balls

45 dried dates, make sure they are pitted
1 cup almonds, unsalted
1/2 cup hemp seeds (this was my add-in, you could also use flax seeds, or no seeds at all)
1/2 cup peanut butter, or any nut butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
unsweetened coconut, for rolling

Soak the dates in hot water for 20 minutes. Drain.
Pulse the almonds and hemp seeds in a food processor until they are finely chopped. Add in the drained dates, process just until things begin to clump. Add in the peanut butter and salt. Pulse on and off to combine. Shape mixture into balls, I use a small ice cream scoop but fingers/spoons is just fine. Roll them in coconut and chill.
Keep them stored in the fridge and enjoy!
