Raw Omega Energy Bites are my new go-to.  Have a sweet tooth and need a quick healthy fix? Or maybe a quick energy lift in the morning with your coffee. Raw Omega Energy Bites can be made in minutes and fulfill your need for sweet, delicious, and healthy.

These are also great to take to holiday parties as they look quite festive. The walnuts and chia seeds supply a good source of omegas in this delicious treat!

As always, these are gluten-free and dairy-free. To ensure they are even healthier, consider using organic or whole food ingredients.

Let me know how you enjoy them.

Ingredients:

1 cup pitted Medjool dates

1/2 cup raw walnuts

2 Tbsp whole chia seeds

2 Tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes (more if you want to coat them)

1 serving chocolate or vanilla protein powder

1 tsp cinnamon

 

Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until combined and sticky. If you dates are dry, soak them in warm water first 10-30 minutes. Add additional water if necessary when mixing for desired consistency. I like mine to be a bit chunky with the nuts so I don’t over blend the mix.

Take approximately 1 T of the mix, and roll between your hands into balls.

Optional: Place an additional 1-2 Tbsp of coconut flakes and roll the balls into it. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week in an airtight container.

Drop a comment to let me know how much you enjoy it or if you made any variations.
