Nancy’s Energy Snacks

Yields 27 Servings

Ingredients

• 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
• 3/4 cup walnuts
• 1/4 cup pecans
• 1 TB cashew butter or almond butter. (I like MaraNatha Raw Organic Almond Butter and Artisana Raw Organic Cashew Butter)
• 8 Medjool dates
• 3/4 cup dried cherries
• 2 TB chia/flax meal. (I make my own by grinding the seeds in a coffee grinder. Beware flavored packaged varieties containing sugar)
• 3 TB cacao nibs
• 1 TB maca powder
• 2 TB coconut oil. (I like Dr. Bronner’s or Spectrum organic)
• Sea salt—about 1/8 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Use organic ingredients, if possible.
2. Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Form balls with one level tablespoon measure and using your hands to round.
3. Optional: ground pumpkin seeds or dried raspberries and roll the balls in the powder to create a colorful treat. Organic shredded coconut is another option with more of a pronounced taste.

No added sugars or sweeteners.
