Steps:

• Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a bowl of a food processor, combine the pitted dates and almonds. Pulse until coarse crumb like consistency.

CHOCOLATE ENERGY BALLS

Steps:

• Blend the walnuts for a minute or so until they're broken down into coarse, grainy flour.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and blend into a thick, sticky dough you can pinch together between your fingers. If the dough seems too dry to roll into balls, add 1-2 tbsp warm water and process again.
• Use your hands to roll the balls into approximately 16 bite-sized balls.
• Roll the balls in your choice of coating, if desired. Try coconut sugar, cacao powder, cinnamon, hemp seeds or coconut. Enjoy right away or store in the fridge or freezer.

SUPERFOOD ENERGY BALLS

Steps:

• Place the almonds, walnuts and pepitas in a food processor and process until only small pieces remain. Add in the maca powder, chia seeds and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and grind to a coarse consistency.
• Add in the dates and continue to pulse 10 to 15 times until broken down. Add in the almond butter and pulse until a dough forms. (You should be able to pinch the dough between your fingers. If it's too crumbly, add it in a bit more almond butter.)
• Place the dough in the fridge to firm up, 10 minutes. Pinch off about 1 tablespoon dough and roll into a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place in the fridge to firm up for another 5 to 10 minutes.
