Lemon and blueberry snack bites

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup Medjool dates (around 6) – remember to take out the pip
  • ½ cup dried blueberries  – I found these at Aldi
  • 1 cup cashews – unsalted
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder OR 1/3 cup rolled oats

Method:

  1. Add the dates, blueberries and cashews (add oats here if using these) to a food processor and process on high until a wet sand texture forms.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients (lemon juice, lemon zest, protein powder) and process until combined – it doesn’t have to be completely smooth but should be like a dough texture.
    3. Form the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a plate. You can roll them in shredded coconut at this time if you would like.
  3. Place in the fridge or freezer to set.
