Berry energy bites
Judi found a "divine" recipe for blueberry lemon energy bites that she modified slightly to use walnuts (for the omega-3s) instead, and she skipped the coconut. I tried with different dried fruits (blueberries, cherries) and add back the coconut (sometimes). Super easy and delicious! I want to try rolling these in cocoa powder next time...
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups walnuts
1/4 cup cashews
1/4 cup oats
1/3 cup chia seeds
1 cup dates
1 cup dried blueberries, or dried cherries, or mix
juice from half a lemon, and zest (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
shredded coconut (optional)
cocoa (optional)
Instructions
In a food processor, blend walnuts and cashews. Add berries, dates, oats, lemon juice, vanilla. Process until the mixture forms a rough dough. Add chia seeds, salt, and (optionally) shredded coconut if you like. Process to mix in. Taste and add more lemon if necessary.
Roll into small (1 inch) balls. Optionally roll the balls into additional coconut and lemon zest, or cocoa, or oat flour. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Can also freeze.
Rolled in oat flour (grind some oats in the food processor and roll!)
