Almond & Pumpkin Seed Bites

Image

These Almond & Pumpkin Seed Bites are an easy snack to make and provide plenty of healthy proteins and nutritions for your body. I highly recommend them!

What You'll Need: 

1 cups dates

Just under a 1/2 cup honey 

1 tbsp. Chia Seed

1 tbsp. Flax Seed

1 cup oats ( in my first trial I used 1 1/2 cup oats and I found that to be too much so I would recommend reducing it to 1 cup)

1 1/4 cup shelled nuts or seeds ( I used almonds and pumpkin seeds)

1 cup dried cranberries

1/3 cup coconut

Image

1. Combine dates, honey,chia seed, flax, in a food processor. Blend until smooth. 

Image

2. Place mixture in a large bowl, stir in oat, nuts or seeds, cranberries and coconut, stir until well combined. Cover and place in fridge for 30 mins. 

Image

3. Once mixture is easy to work with, shape into your desired size ball. Store in fridge for up to two weeks.

All Natural Almond Butter

Image

What You'll Need:

2 cups natural almonds

Food Processor

1. Put almonds in food processor, turn on. Stop and push down sides often.

7 mins you will notice a texture change, becomes more dense

13 mins, notice another texture change, starts to liquify

20 mins, you will have your almond butter!

* I was extremely excited about this actually working out. It is so simple, and clean, and I never have to buy almond butter from the store again! I Hope you enjoy it :)
