1 cup shelled pistachios
1/3 cup raw rolled oats
1/3 cup chia seeds
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30g)
1/3 cup almond butter (unsalted)
1/4 cup honey
2–3 Medjool dates, pitted
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a food processor, pulse pistachios, oats, chia seeds, protein powder, and salt until coarsely chopped.
Add almond butter, honey, dates, and vanilla. Process until the mixture sticks together when pressed.
Chill mixture for 15 minutes to firm slightly.
Form into 1.5-inch balls using wet hands.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for 2 months
Try adding 1 tbsp cacao powder for a chocolate variation
Use peanut butter instead of almond butter for a different nut profile
Add a citrus zest swirl for extra brightness
Ensure the dates are very soft for optimal binding
