Cranberry Energy Bites

Ingredients

• 9 Medjool dates, pitted and cut in quarters
• ⅓ cup agave
• 1 tablespoon almond butter
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1¼ cup whole grain oats
• ¼ cup pistachios, shelled
• ⅓ cup sliced almonds
• ¾ cup dried cranberries
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

In a food processor with a metal blade, add dates, agave, almond butter, chia seeds, oats, pistachios, almonds, cranberries, and vanilla. Pulse until roughly chopped, but not pulverized.

Place oat mixture into a medium mixing bowl. Add white chocolate chips and stir together. Place in refrigerator and chill for about 20 minutes.

Once chilled, use your hands to shape into 1-inch balls, pressing your hands firmly together to shape. A touch more almond butter can be added to help shape and hold, if necessary. Repeat with remaining mixture.

Note: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
