Serves: 8 bites
Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup almonds
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder
  • 7 dates, soaked in water
  • ¼ cup tahini
Instructions
  1. Process almonds for 3-4 minutes until it looks like a coarse powder. Add in the protein powder and pulse for a few times. Put in a separate bowl.
  2. Add dates and 2 tablespoons water to the processor. Process for a minute, then add the tahini and process for 2 more minutes, stopping to scrap down as needed. It will form a thick paste.
  3. Add back in the almond and protein powder mix, process until well combined.
  4. Form into balls and store in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
If you don't use a protein powder you can omit it from the recipe; however, you may want to add honey, maple syrup, or vanilla extract to sweeten them up a bit.
