Ginger and Cashew Energy Balls

Energy bites tasting like ginger snap cookies. Cashews provide healthy fats and protein to lower cholesterol. Blackstrap molasses adds iron.

From The Young Forever Cookbook

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw cashews
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup (6-7) pitted Medjool dates
  • 0.25 cup almond butter
  • 1-2 tbsp blackstrap molasses

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine the cashews, ginger, and cinnamon. Pulse a few times, until the mixture is crumbly. Add the dates, almond butter, and 1 tablespoon molasses and continue pulsing until the mixture comes together and sticks when pressed between your fingers; add more molasses if needed. Roll the mixture into about eighteen golf ball–sized bites.
  2. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 months.
