Granola Bites (Protein Balls)

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup oats (you can toast in the oven or just leave raw)
• 2 tbsp nuts (I like them chopped up a bit - pecans and almonds are my fave)
• 1 tbsp peanut butter (natural; no added sugar)
• 1.5 tsp flax seed (ground)
• 1.5 tsp cacao powder (this is better for you than cocoa powder)
• 1.5 tsp coconut oil (melted)
• 2.25 dates (pitted, soak them in hot water for a few minutes and then drain)

Instructions

1. Once the dates have soaked, put them in a food processor and pulse until they almost form the consistency of dough.
2. Put the date mixture in a bowl and add all the other ingredients.
3. Roll the mixture into golf ball sized balls and put them in an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator.
