Ingredients:

¾ cup cashews 
½ cup oats 
½ cup vanilla pea protein powder 
Pinch of himalayan salt 
1 cup pitted dates (about 10)
¼ cup cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips

 

Method:

Add the cashews, oats, himalayan salt and protein powder to a food processor and process until no chunks remain.

Add the dates and blend until a dough forms. You may want to soak your dates prior to blending depending on the strength of your food processor.

Continue to blend until the dough becomes a ball then transfer into a bowl.

Mix in the cacao nibs or chocolate chips and then roll into balls.

Store in either the fridge or freezer.
