Sunflower Seed Energy Bites

3/4 cup raw sunflower seeds

1/2 cup raw dates

3 tablespoons cacao

2 tablespoons bee pollen, optional

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 pod cardamom, crushed

Pinch nutmeg

Pinch salt

Method:

• In the bowl of a food processor, add the sunflower seeds and blend until a coarse meal forms. If you blend too long, oils will release and you'll make sunflower butter.

• Add the dates, cacao, bee pollen, oil, and spices. Blend until the dates have broken down and a ball of dough has formed in the processor.

• Form the dough into small balls, about half the size of a golf ball, using your hands. You can roll the bites in cacao if you'd like.

• Place the bites onto a plate or board and freeze for 30 minutes before removing and placing in a jar or container.

• Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
