Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the pitted dates, raw cashews, goji berries, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
-
Blend the Mixture: Pulse the ingredients in the food processor until they are well combined and the mixture begins to come together. You want the ingredients to be finely chopped and mixed into a sticky dough-like consistency.
-
Shape the Balls: Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls between the palms of your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, you can wet your hands with a little water to make the rolling process easier.
-
Optional: Coat with Shredded Coconut: For an extra touch of flavor and texture, you can roll the date balls in shredded coconut. This will give them a lovely coating and add a delightful crunch to each bite.
-
Chill and Enjoy: Place the Goji Cashew Date Balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. Once chilled, they are ready to be enjoyed! Keep them stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
