Apricot, Date, and Cashew Snack Balls

By Pollin

Ingredients

• 1 cup cashews, walnuts, or almonds
• Generous pinch sea salt
• 1 1/4 cups pitted Medjool dates (about 15 or 16 dates)
• 1/4 cup dried apricot
• 1 tablespoon almond butter
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Process the nuts and sea salt in a food processor fitted with the S blade till the nuts are coarsely ground. Add the dates, apricots, almond butter, sesame seeds, and cinnamon. Keep processing the mixture until it's starting to stick together a bit. When you can squeeze a handful and it sticks together nicely, you're done. Roll the mixture into balls that are about 1 inch in diameter. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks in the fridge or a week outside the fridge.
