GUT-HEALTHY SNOWBALL ENERGY BITES from @kalejunkie and they taste like Larabar, but in ball form :) They are perfect to snack on all week long and very easy to make! This recipe was created in partnership with @seed to highlight the importance of not only taking a high quality probiotic, but that consuming a diverse range of foods that support a healthy microbiome is the key to better digestion and overall good health. Diet and the probiotic go hand in hand. I am really proud that I have stayed consistent with taking the Seed DS-01® Daily Synbiotic for over 3 years now! I have never missed a day and that is because the benefits are very noticeable and my digestion has improved dramatically since day 1. Code KALEJUNKIE25 for 25% off your first order! ⁣

A few facts! Dates are rich in energy and carbs for energy, cranberries and cherries are high in fiber, coconut is a medium chain fatty acid, which is a readily available energy source, and oats have a high beta-glucan content, and b glucans have demonstrated a significant impact on the gut microbiota—via growth of beneficial microbes and the production of bioactive metabolites, namely short chain fatty acids!⁣
⁣
Makes 14 bites⁣
2 cups raw, unsalted cashews⁣
3/4 cup medjool dates, pitted⁣
1 cup dried cranberries (or dried cherries, mango, etc. or a blend)⁣
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (plus more for rolling the balls)⁣
2 tsp vanilla extract⁣
1/4 cup rolled oats⁣
⁣
First, soak the cashews by adding them to a bowl and covering with hot water. I like to soak for 20-30 minutes. This helps the cashews soften the cashews so they are easier to blend. Drain the liquid and add the cashews to a food processor, along with the rest of the ingredients. Blend/pulse on high for 1-2 minutes, then scrape down the sides and repeat process until you’ve reached the desired texture. This takes a few minutes, so be patient! Scoop out 1-2 tablespoon size portions of the dough and roll into balls. If the dough is sticky, then just wet your hands in between rolling. Toss in shredded coconut & ENJOY!⁣
