Homemade Energy Bites Recipe: Cherry Chocolate | REI

Soak the almonds in water for 20 minutes. Drain and rinse, then add to the bowl of a food processor along with the pitted dates, cherries, coconut, hemp seeds, chocolate and salt.

Give the ingredients a whir in the food processor until the mix becomes a crumbly dough. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times.

Scoop out enough dough to create a 1-½-in. ball. Press the mix together between your palms to help it stick together, then roll into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the dough to make 9 balls.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to eat.
