These are my favourite energy balls! They are packed full of healthy fats, protein, and fibre to keep you satisfied in between meals. The orange oil adds such a lovely flavour! Pop 2-3 into Ziploc bags to have snacks ready to go for the week! 

Ingredients

• 1 c. Dates, dried, pitted

• 0.5 c. Almond Butter

• 1 c. Rolled oats

• 3-5 drops Orange oil (or 1 tsp. orange zest)

• 1-2 Tbsp. Water (as needed)

Directions

1. Soak dates in warm water for 5 minutes to soften, drain.

2. In a food processor combine dates and almond butter until smooth. Add in orange oil or zest.

3. Mix in oats, protein powder, pumpkin seeds, and cranberries until well combined (using a food processor or mixing bowl). If too dry, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
