Quick Tips

  • You can use a variety of nuts and seeds. You can also roll the balls in sesame seeds, flaxseeds, cacao powder or hemp hearts.

No almonds

  • Use walnuts, pecans, or cashews instead.

Storage

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to a month. If storing in the freezer, ensure to separate the balls with parchment paper so they don't stick to each other. Remove from the freezer 10-15 minutes and allow balls to soften before eating.

Nutritional Highlights

  • Dates are high in fiber, antioxidants, potassium, and magnesium.
