]]> I just can’t keep these in stock, so the recipe is on repeat in my kitchen. To any mom of a growing teen: perfect energy and nutrient dense snack for in between school and sports when they want something that tastes good and will give them some fuel to power through until dinner. Ingredients are easy to keep stocked in the pantry and the balls don’t take long to make – just need a good blender or food processor- Vitamix is what I use. You may sneak a few and here in there when craving a sweet without the wheat.

Course Snack
Keyword no bake dessert

Ingredients

  • 2 cups pitted dates
  • 1/2 cup nut butter of choice
  • 1 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 6 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon MCT oil

Instructions

  • Place the dates in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade or high speed blender like a Vitamin
  • Pulse until the dates break into small bits and form a ball
  • Add the MCT oil, oats, cocoa, nut butter, chocolate chips, chia seeds, and salt.
  • Pulse until mixture is smooth.
  • At this point, the dough will look like crumbs, but when you scoop into your hand and press to roll it into a ball, it should hold together
  • Roll into balls and store in the fridge or freezer

]]> Apple “donut” slices – naturally sweet, high in fiber, and fun activity for the kids when you break out the cookie cutters. Layer on some nut or seed butter and some sprinkles and you have a nutrient dense and tasty snack. Tip: when eating fruit try combining with a little fat and protein (this combo fits the bill). This macronutrient combination slows down the rate with which the natural sugars are absorbed into the blood stream and thereby promoting satiety and prolonged energy balance… plus it’s delish.
