4 Ingredient Peanut Almond Energy Bites

YOU GUYS. This is my *FIRST* blog post on The Mindful Hapa. I’m kinda excited! Please make sure to check out the about me page and subscribe to the email list if you want to get notified when I come out with new blog posts. Okay, now on to the good stuff.

Me and energy bites, or date balls as I refer to them, go way back. I was looking for healthier snacking and dessert alternatives that were refined-sugar free. Enter date balls, and the rest is history! I now bring these guys to pretty much any social gathering I attend. There are still so many people out there who have yet to try these and I love how excited people get when they have their first date ball, immediately followed by: can you please send me the recipe??

These are my ride-or-die date balls, the OG of all energy bites. I to this day make tons of variations (which will be all be coming to the blog!), but if you have to try one recipe… MAKE THESE.

I love this recipe for so many reasons:

1. The ingredient list is on point, no refined sugar here!
2. I pretty much always have these four ingredients on hand.
3. They are also so easy to put together and take less than 15 minutes from start to finish.

So, how can you make these guys? Start by processing the dates until they form into a ball. Then add the peanuts, almonds, and peanut butter. Roll into balls or shamelessly eat by the spoonful. That is it, 15 minutes later and you too can be enjoying these peanut almond energy bites!

This being my first recipe, I would love any feedback if you give these energy bites try! You can leave a comment below, or even better, take a picture and tag it @themindfulhapa and #themindfulhapa on Instagram. Enjoy!

Easy to make, 4 ingredient almond peanut energy bites that are vegan, gluten free, and refined sugar free. The perfect afternoon pick-me-up or on-the-go snack!

Ingredients

• 2 cups medjool or deglet noor dates pitted
• 1 cup roasted, salted peanuts
• 1 cup roasted or raw almonds
• 1/4 cup all-natural peanut butter
• 1-2 Tbsp water

Instructions

• Process dates in food processor (I find this easier, but you can also use a high-powered blender) until a ball forms.
• Add peanuts, almonds, and peanut butter until thoroughly mixed. Mixture should be sticky and easy to form, but can add an additional 1-2 Tbs of water if needed to help mixture come together.
• Use hands to form mixture into 1 inch balls. Should yield 22-24 energy bites.
• Store date balls in fridge or freeze for longer term storage.
