Almond Butter and Cacao Bombs
I usually double the recipe. They are that good. I like to eat two of these before I work out – nice burst of energy without the volume of a smoothy or a bowl of cereal.

Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large dates, pitted
- 1/3 cup roasted peanuts
- 2 heaped tablespoons smooth almond (or peanut) butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons quick cook oats
- 2 teaspoons cacao powder
- 1 generous pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Place the dates in a food processor and pulse until they form a smooth paste.
- Add the oats, almond butter, cacao powder, peanuts, and sea salt and pulse again until really well combined.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop and press the mixture, then roll into a ball. Continue forming these bombs until you run out of mixture.
- Place the rolled balls into the fridge for around 1 hour before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- Try adding sesame seeds, ground hemp seeds, or ground flax for more protein.
- For more superfood adaptogenic goodness, add a tablespoon of maca powder.
- Swap out the peanuts with walnuts for more omega-3 fats
