christmas energy bites
Whether you are out and about this holiday season or staying in, these Christmas Energy Bites are the perfect snack to give you an extra energy boost to get through the season. These quick and easy, no-bake wonders are perfect for vegans, and the good news is, they are kid and toddler approved!
Made from the Siwa dates that provide the chewy texture and act as an excellent natural sweetener, this healthy treat with 4 different toppings are pretty enough for an edible Christmas gift or served as a dessert spread during the Christmas feast.
- Preparation time: 15 mins

- Place the dates, nut butter, quick rolled oats, chia seeds, and salt into a food processor, blend until a soft dough is formed, which takes about a minute.
- Add one tablespoon of the water at a time if the texture of the dough is too crumbly, until it becomes thick and smooth.
