Peanut Butter Cranberry Energy Balls

We were having a lazy morning because it was cold and rainy outside and I asked Z if she wanted to help mommy make something. She of course said yes as she loves helping in the kitchen so we whipped up a batch of these energy balls. Z helped decide what would go in them and thankfully we ended up with a tasty treat.

Using a hand mixture or food processor combine: 

• 1 Cup dates
• 1 cup crunchy natural peanut butter

Mix in the following by hand:

• 1 TBSP water
• 1/2 cup quinoa puffs
• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup skim milk powder
• 1 TBSP ground chia seeds
• 1 TBSP ground flax
• 1 TBSP hemp hearts
• 1 TBSP shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• Optional: 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks

Form into small balls and place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Let set in the fridge for 10 minutes. Can keep in the fridge or freeze for a snack later on. Enjoy!
