Ingredients

  • 10-12 Medjool Dates pits removed, soaked, and drained
  • 1 cup Raw Pecans
  • 1 cup Sliced Almonds
  • ½ cup Desiccated Coconut

Instructions

  • Remove the pits from the medjool dates and put them in warm water for 10 minutes to make them soft and easier to blend.
  • Put the pitted dates in a food processor or blender. Blend on high until it becomes a thick mixture that feels sticky.
  • Add the pecans and almonds. Blend until the nuts breakdown and are incorporated into the date paste.
  • Take about 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture and use your hands to shape it into a ball. Transfer the balls onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and place in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  • Roll the energy bites in coconut flakes by pressing them gently. You should have around 9-12 date energy bites. Enjoy!
