Ingredients

1/2 cup almonds

1/2 cup walnuts

1/4 cup sunflower seeds

1 tbsp chia seeds

A little less than 1/4 cup spinach (loosely packed)

1/8 to 1/4 tsp spirulina powder

1/8 tsp cinnamon

2/3 small banana, chopped.

1/4 cup + 1 tbsp dried blueberries

4 medjool dates, pitted and chopped.

1 tbsp cacao nibs

Instructions

Line a medium-sized baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. Set aside.

Pulse all ingredients up to the spirulina in a food processor until a uniform “chunky” consistency is reached. Do not over-processor it will release fats and become butter.

Add the banana, blueberries, and dates and process until the dough is formed. Toss in the cacao nibs and pulse until mixed through.

Scoop heaping tablespoon-sized and roll them in the palm of your hand until balls form. Add desired toppings of choice, such as a nut or shredded coconut.
