I don’t know what I would do without my food processor. It’s likely one of my most used kitchen appliances. One thing I’m regularly making are energy bites! With a base of dates and almonds, there are endless combinations and flavours to make. These lemon energy bites are one of my favourites and are always a big hit! Sweet, tangy and refreshing like lemonade!

These bites are great as a sweet treat after a meal, afternoon snack or quick pre-workout bite.

Author Andrea Docherty, RD

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • Juice of a lemon

Note: When measuring the dates, pack them tightly into the measuring cup - this will help ensure you use enough.

Instructions

  1. 1. In a food processor blend up dates, almonds and lemon juice.

    2. Blend until it starts to form a large ball but try and leave some chunks of almond for texture. 

    3. Remove from the food processor and roll into 1 inch balls and then place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to harden.
