Bliss Energy Balls with PGX Daily

Ingredients

• 1 cup dried dates, pitted
• 1-2 tablespoons raw hulled sunflower seeds (optional)
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 1/4 cup almond meal
• 2 tbsp almond, cashew or hazelnut butter
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon cocao powder
• ½  cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
• 5-7.5 grams PGX Daily Singles (2-3 sticks)

Directions

1. Place dates and sunflower seeds in a metal bowl and pour hot water over just to cover them. Let soak for at least 15 minutes. Seed may need longer soaking if a softer consistency is desired.
2. Drain water and reserve in a separate container.
3. Add all ingredients to the bowl except for the shredded coconut.
4. Mash and mix (a fork will do) the next 6 ingredients together until a paste forms. If the paste is too thick, add a tsp of the reserved date water and mix again.
5. Add PGX granules and mix a few more times to blend the granules in.
6. Put the shredded coconut in a glass or metal small bowl.
7. Take approximately a teaspoon amount of paste and form into a small ball with your fingers, it doesn’t have to be perfect.
8. Drop the ball into the shredded coconut and roll around the bowl until completely coated, forming a ball as you go.
9. Place on a nice plate to serve right away or store in a glass container and refrigerate.

Store in the refrigerator.
