Energy Date Balls

1. 1

   Soak dates in hot water for few minutes, drain, set aside and keep liquid.

2. 2

   Pulse nuts until fine in food processor and add remaining ingredients and dates. Mixture should be moist and hold together, if too dry add date liquid a little at a time. Mixture should not be too wet, it will clump together in processor when ready.

3. 3

   Shape into walnut sized balls and roll in shredded coconut, I use unsweetened but your preference for sweetness.

4. 4

   Place on parchment paper lined baking sheet and place in freezer. Approximately an hour or longer. Transfer into an airtight tin or container and keep in refrigerator or freezer - stores up to two weeks, if they don't get eaten up!

5. 5

   * 1 tablespoon of cocoa may be substituted for flax-meal if desired.
