Enticing Energy Bites

So many pre-packaged snacks are loaded with added sugar, unwanted additives, and unpronounceable preservatives. A great alternative is to make your own. That way, you can control the ingredients, spare yourself the sugar roller coaster, pump up the nutrition, and save dough in the process.

Fig Matcha Balls

3 cups dried figs (stems removed)
1 cup chopped walnuts
¼ cup ground flax seeds
1 tsp Organic Matcha Power Powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch salt

Add all ingredients to food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Scoop mixture out using a spoon and form into balls with your hands.
Enjoy right away and refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.

PB&J Balls

1 ¼ cups rolled oats
2 tbsp ground hemp seeds
2 tbsp Organic Berry Power powder
½ cup peanut butter (or sunflower seed butter for nut-free option)
¼ cup raw honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch salt

Add ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir to combine well.
Scoop mixture out using a spoon and form into balls with your hands.
If dough is too moist, add oats — if too dry, add peanut butter.
Enjoy right away and refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.

Date Beet Bites

7 Medjool pitted dates
½ cup cashews
1/3 cup shredded coconut
¼ cup raisins
1 tbsp Organic Beet Juice Powder
1 tbsp chia seeds

Place dates in a food processor and pulse until they form a paste.
Add the rest of the ingredients until they start clumping together.
Put dough into a parchment lined loaf pan and press it down until it evenly reaches all sides.
Chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, remove from the pan, and cut into one-inch square pieces.
