Start by measuring 1 cup of oats into a bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of nuts to the oats.

Mix in 1 tablespoon of pumpkin seeds and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.

Add 1 tablespoon each of cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and cocoa to the mixture.

Sprinkle in a little bit of salt.

Add a scoop of re-kaged protein powder and blend until the nuts are chopped and the mixture resembles a fine flour.

Prepare 2 cups of pitted medjool dates by chopping them up; these are softer and creamier than other dates.

Mix the chopped dates into the nut and oat flour mixture along with all the spices.

Add a little bit of vanilla and lemon juice to the mixture.

Form the mixture into medium-sized balls, about two bites big.
