Nut Free No Bake Chocolate Energy Balls
While we don’t have nut allergies in my home, my son is not a fan. These chocolate protein balls fit the bill. I include chia and hemp seeds and cacao to kick up our superfood intake. These balls are also dairy and gluten free. To increase the health value, turmeric and ginger are optional add ins. I like the anti-inflammatory and cold fighting properties of both of these so I usually include one or both. These are gone in no time in our home- great morning pick me up, afternoon snack, and before or after sports.
Ingredients
11 large Medjool dates- pitted- usually found in the same section as raisins in the grocery store
1/4 C of cacao powder
3 T shelled hemp seeds- Trader Jose or Wegmans or Moms
3T chia seeds- same stores as above
2T cacao nibs
2t cinnamon
1/4 t of turmeric and/or ginger (optional)
1/4 t of Himalayan pink sea salt
Directions
Process dates in a blender or processor until a paste is formed.
Add the remaining ingredients and combine and blend for 2 minutes
Put mixture in freezer for 15-20 minutes
Form dough into balls and serve or put in a container and keep in the refrigerator.
