Energy Bites: Raw Paleo Nut Balls

I love the idea of energy bites: mini meals that pack a punch.

I got the idea to make these from the peanut butter candy my Mom made for my sister and I when we were kids. She would mix peanut butter, evaporated milk and honey. My sister and I shaped the “dough” into little sculptures then ate our creations.

I love almond butter and I used almond flour instead of evaporated milk to make it dairy free. Then I added all sorts of goodies. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond butter
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1/4 cup dried cherries, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
• Honey to taste

Steps:

• Combine almond butter, almond flour and chia seeds. Mix with hands.
• Combine rest of ingredients.

• Roll into balls and store in fridge.

Go nuts!-Julie
