Almond Butter Energy Balls with Dates, Oats, + Chocolate Chips

Welcome to my NEW channel! Kicking it off with one of my favorite treats ever: Almond Butter Energy Balls with Dates, Oats, and Dark Chocolate Chips. I make these tasty treats all of the time -- as a healthy and sweet grab-and-go snack or a healthy dessert to bring to a friend's houses.
They’re absolutely delicious: creamy almond butter with the sweetness of dates, the bittersweetness of dark chocolate -- with a hint of saltiness. Plus, now that I'm nursing my infant daughter, the oats in this energy balls help with milk production. Another win!

RECIPE
Ingredients
9 medjool dates with pits taken out
1 cup unsalted almond butter
1 cup rolled oats
Sprinkle of pink Himalayan salt (or any sea salt)
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Directions
1. In a large food processor, add pitted dates, almond butter, oats, and salt. Pulse until they are well-combined and sticky. Taste and adjust the salt if needed.
2. Remove the blade and stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
3. Scoop out 1 tbsp of the mixture at a time and roll between your palms into balls.
4. Roll the balls in shredded coconut.
5. TRY NOT TO EAT THEM ALL. I keep a few on my counter for a quick sweet bite and the rest in the fridge where they’ll be good for about a week. Or you can freeze them in an airtight container for up to 3 months! Enjoy!
