Ingredients

1 cup Medjool dates about 8, pits removed
1½ cups raw cashews
¼ cup ground flax seeds
⅙ tsp. fine sea salt
½ cup dairy-free mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Soak dates in warm water for approximately 10 minutes then drain.
Add dates, cashews, ground flax seeds and sea salt to a food processor fitted with the S-blade and pulse until ingredients are well mixed and begin to clump.
Add chocolate chips and pulse until well blended.
Scrape ingredients into a mixing bowl and then form into walnut sized balls by scooping dough with a spoon and rolling it between your hands.
Enjoy immediately or store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

Recipe makes approximately 1 1/2 dozen energy bites. A serving is two bites.

I use pre-ground flax seed in my recipes. If you grind your own flax seed you may wish to reduce the quantity. I'm told freshly ground flax seed may have a stronger flavor.

Note: Nutrition information is a rough estimate for special dietary needs. I subscribe to the theories presented in the book Whole and believe we should focus on eating a variety of whole foods instead of counting calories or keeping track of individual nutrients.
