Nutty Date Balls - Recipe

You all know I'm a sucker for quick, easy, raw, gluten-free snacks...and, most importantly - Kid-Friendly! These whip up in like 5 Minutes and you probably have all the ingredients in the house. Good protein and Omega-3's from the nuts and EVCO, antioxidants from the raw cacao and not too sweet!

Nutty Date Balls:
1 cup raw almonds
1 cup raw walnuts
8-10 pitted dates
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Big pinch of sea salt
Raw Cacao nibs, approx. 2 tbs.
1 tbs EVCO

Combine the almonds & walnuts in a food processor (or high-powered blender). Pulse the nuts until the mixture is ground into a coarse powder. Add the dates, one at a time, pulsing several times between additions, until each date is well-incorporated. Add the vanilla and a generous pinch of salt. Pulse several more times to distribute the vanilla and salt. Add in EVCO and Cacao Nibs, and again pulse a few more times to evenly distribute. Scoop out mixture, roll into little balls, place on parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Or, you can press into a baking pan over parchment paper and then cut into bars after it cools.
Enjoy!
