Raw Energy Balls

 

Ingredients

 

1/2 cup coconut oil

1/4 cup almond milk

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

16 +/- pitted dates

1/4 cup hemp protein powder

1/4 cup raw almonds

1/4 cup dried goji berries

1/4 cup carob powder

1/4 cup raw cacao nibs

1/8 cup chia seeds

1 T cinnamon

1 T vanilla

1 t salt

Liquid stevia to taste

 

Extra flaked coconut to roll balls in (or use hemp seeds)

 

Optional, to taste:

Lucuma powder

Maca powder

 

Directions

 

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process, scraping sides occasionally, until all ingredients are combined and there are no large chunks of dates or almonds.  I like to leave a little texture in the mixture.  Place flaked coconut in a small bowl.  Scoop out tablespoon-size clumps of mixture and place in the bowl of flaked coconut, rolling mixture around to coat all sides.  Finish rolling between the palms of your hands to finish shaping into a round ball.  Place finished balls in the refrigerator to solidify.
