Equipment

  • Vitamix or Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 Cup Slivered Almonds
  • 1/4 Cup Cashews Mine were salted.
  • 1/4 Cup Walnuts
  • 1/4 Cup Ground Flax Seed
  • 1 Cup Dates
  • 1/3 Cup Cacao
  • 1/3 Cup Unsweetened Coconut You will need an extra 1/2 cup or more to roll the balls in.
  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil If mixture is too dry you can add more.
  • 2 Teaspoons Chia Seeds
  • 2 Tablespoons Water

Instructions
 

  • Mix water with the chia seeds in a small bowl and set aside.
  • combine the nuts, shredded coconut, ground flax, dates, cacao, and coconut oil in the Vitamix or food processor.
  • Add the chia seed mixture to the rest of the ingredients.
  • Pulse for three seconds to combine and repeat this step an additional three times. If using a Vitamix pulse on 10.
  • If using a Vitamix, put in the damper and keep pushing down and scraping the sides until all ingredients are combined.
  • If the mixture looks too dry add a little more coconut oil and blend until combined.
  • Scoop out the mixture into a bowl and roll into balls, however big or small you like them. (I like to be able to take 2 or 3 bites).
  • Place a 1/2 cup of shredded coconut into a flat dish and roll the healthy energy balls in the coconut.
  • Put in freezer until ready to serve or until set.
  • Eat and Enjoy!

Notes

Soaking the dates for 24 hours in water will bring out the Caramel flavor.
If using unsalted nuts, then you may want to add a little salt.
