Raw Brownie Energy Bites

When that chocolate craving hits and you need something fast, look no further with these raw brownie energy bites. Not only will they satisfy that sweet tooth, but they are healthy!  Full of nutrients including plant based proteins, phytonutrients, antioxidants, probiotics, prebiotics and digestive enzymes thanks to the vegan chocolate shakeology.  

Ingredients:

1 cup walnuts

8 pitted & soften dates

pinch of himalayan pink sea salt

1/4 cup of cacao powder

1 scoop vegan chocolate shakeology

1/4 cup creamy nut butter

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

NOTE: Can be make without shakeology, as well.  Substitute 1/4 cup chia seeds and 1/4 hemp seeds in place of shakeology.  However, this reduces the nutritional value and alters the flavor making them more bitter with just the cacao powder flavoring. It removes the phytonutrients, antioxidants, probiotics, prebiotics and digestive enzymes.

Directions:

In a food processor grind the walnuts flour consistency is formed. Add the dates, blend until combined.

Add remaining ingredients and blend. Once a sticky dough is formed, use a tablespoon measurement spoon to roll the bites! 

Roll bites into desired toppings {crushed walnuts, cacao powder or plain} ENJOY!
