Coco Energy Balls

Enjoy this protein packed, fruit sweetened energy ball when you need a quick boost during your busy day. Create lots of variations by rotating through different nuts and seeds, dried fruit, nut butters, spices and toppings. Use a moist date such as Medjool, otherwise add a small amount of water or juice, or additional nut butter, if necessary to get a consistency where you can roll the balls and they hold their form. For an energy bar, press the mixture into a parchment paper lined small baking dish and cut into desired shapes.
