- 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)
- ⅓ 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
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.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
For adults, I use Vegan Macromeal Ultimate Superfood from Macrolife Naturals.

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.
