Flavorful bites of energy, blood sugar balancing, with immune boosting benefits to boot! Perfect for an afternoon pick up with a cup of tea or to curb a sweet tooth.

  • Yields: ~10 balls

Ingredients

1 cup medjool dates, pitted

1 cup walnuts

1/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar

1 tsp white miso paste

2 tsp chaga mushroom powder (or Stamet 7 Immune blend)

1 tbsp almond butter, unsweetened and unsalted

2 tbsp unsweetened, fine, coconut flakes

2 tbsp hemp hearts

Directions

1Soak dates in a bowl of water for ~10 min. Toast walnuts for ~8 minutes at 350F. Place the coconut and hemp seeds on a plate and set aside. Put all ingredients, accept coconut flakes and hemp seeds, into a food processor and pulse for about 15-20 seconds, until it gathers and becomes a little crumbly. Remove the blade! Using your hands, form 1” balls from the mix and roll into the coconut hemp blend to coat the outside.

Keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week. For chocolate, use a 73% or higher dark chocolate. My personal favorite is to use a Hu or Evolve brand chocolate bar chopped up to keep it free of refined sugar. You can sub almond butter for another nut butter if preferred. If you don't have miso, sub a pinch of sea salt. Enjoy!
