Cherry Oat Energy Bites

1/2 C. Pitted Dates

1/2 C. Almond Butter

3 Tbs. Peanut Butter

3/4 C. Organic Rolled Oats

1/2 C. Roasted Cashews

1/8 C. Raw Walnuts

1 Scoop Protein Powder (I used Pea Protein, but you can use Vanilla too)

4 Quinoa Rice Cakes (Thin Stackers/ Lundberg, these are very thin red rice and quinoa cracker-cakes) just crumble them up with your hands.

1/4 C. Dried Cherries Plus some chopped ones to put on the top for decor.

Throw the dates and nut butter in a processor to get things going, then add in the order of the ingredients. Making sure that all is being blended. It will look a little crumbly. Test out a small amount by rolling some into a ball and see how it is holding. You may want to add some coconut butter or maybe a couple more dates. Spread in a baking pan on parchment paper, press some of the cherries on top and pop in the fridge. After chilling slice up as desired. Enjoy!

P.S. This pretty square in the background is my Matcha Chocolate Date Bar, I just added the recipe to my Let's Cook Together page click HERE for all the yumminess.
