Directions
Soak the dates in hot water for 30 minutes. Drain, then rinse with cool water until the water runs clear and the dates are cool.
In a personal blender, pulse the dates to break them down into a paste. Add the almond butter, water, and vanilla extract, then blend until smooth.
Transfer the blended mixture to a medium bowl. Add in the Almond Milk pulp, oats, cacao powder, chia seeds, coconut flakes, and sea salt. Mix until well combined.
Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Press a whole roasted almond into the center of each bite.
Place the bites on a baking tray or plate and refrigerate for 1 hour, until firm.
Transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Culinary tip
Store energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months for an easy grab-and-go snack.
NEVER use the nutribullet Cup to blend hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients.
DO NOT blend for more than one minute when using the nutribullet Cup.
Blending hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients in a nutribullet Cup may result in over-pressurization, causing the Cup to forcefully separate when removed from the Motor Base or upon opening, which may expel hot contents and/or exposure to the blades, both of which may cause serious bodily injury.
Use the vented Pitcher to blend hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients or ingredients that need to be blended for longer than one minute.
