Ingredients  

  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seed butter
  • 1/4 cup raw cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup if vegan
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate aerils

Instructions 

  1. Add all ingredients (dates through hemp seeds) except pomegranate seeds to a food processor and pulse 5-7 times before letting the processor run.
  2. Process until one large energy ball forms and rolls around the blade.
  3. Remove ball from processor and roll into 12-16 small, bite-size energy balls. Add pomegranate seeds last. 
  4. Move to the freezer or fridge for 15 minutes to set. This makes them easier to roll. 
  5. Enjoy and store leftovers in refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

To soften dates, let soak in warm water for 10 minutes.
