1cupnuts or seeds (brazil, walnuts, cashews, pumpkin, sunflower, hemp)
1scoopplant based vanilla protein
1Tbspnut/seed butter (almond, cashew, sunflower)
½tsp cinnamon
¼tspsalt
1Tbsplemon zest
1 Tbsplemon juice
Instructions
Place the dates, prunes or raisins in the food processor and add your choice of nuts/seeds. Process by pulsing until finely ground.
Add remaining ingredients except the lemon juice and mix until combined.
Add the lemon juice only if needed to make the mixture softer and stickier so that it forms a dough.
Shape dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons, and place in the freezer. Taste great and cools you off when eaten right out of the freezer. Keep refrigerated or frozen to extends the shelf life.
If you do not have a food processor:
Lay the dates, prunes or raisins on a baking sheet and place in a warm oven, about 300 degrees, for about five minutes. This will soften them.
Transfer them to a bowl and using a wooden spoon, mash them into a paste. This will take a little muscle. Once you have a paste, chop the nut or seeds you choose to use very fine and stir those into the paste.
Stir in the remaining ingredients, mixing well to evenly combine the ingredients.
