Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1 cup rolled oats (if gluten free make sure they are a gluten free variety)
  • 1 cup almond meal (see notes to make your own)
  • cup strong brewed espresso
  • 2 tablespoon raw cacao powder plus more for rolling (optional)
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon plant based protein powder (optional. see note for what I use)
  • pinch sea salt

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a vitamix or other high powered blender. Blend on low until you get the desired consistency - I prefer mine to have some little chunks, but you may want a smoother result.
  • Roll mixture into balls and roll in extra cacao if desired.
  • Pop into an airtight container and into the fridge for about an hour or until set.
  • These are best if left in the fridge or freezer and just taken out when needed.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
For adults, I use Vegan Macromeal Ultimate Superfood from Macrolife Naturals.
Whole food bellies readers can get 20% off their order by using the code wholefoodbellies10. Although feel free to use whatever protein/superfood powder you have on hand.
To make your own almond meal just pop whole almonds into a high powered food processor and blend until you get a flour-like consistency.
