Lisa's AMAZE-Ballz

Easy and Delicious Chocolate Energy Balls

Whether it’s first thing in the morning or mid-afternoon, sometimes you need a healthy, energy-filled snack to give you that boost. The key to Good Clean snacking is to choose foods with a combination of complex carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats and plenty of fiber— and these AMAZE-Ballz provide just that!

Store them in the freezer until ready to enjoy. Makes about 12 balls.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup pitted dates
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup almond butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup whole almonds
1 - 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut

Place walnuts in a food processor and process until coarsely ground. Add the dates and pulse until well combined with the nuts. Add the cocoa powder, syrup, almond butter, vanilla and salt. Process until the mixture is thick and smooth. Add the almonds and pulse a few times until combined. There should be some almond chunks remaining.

Form the mixture into balls and roll in coconut. Store in freezer.
