No-Bake Energy Bites

Bite-sized energy balls that taste like peanut butter cookie dough but are packed with fiber, healthy fats, and natural sweetness from dates. No baking required — just mix, roll, and chill.

• 6 Medjool dates, pitted
• 1 tbsp chia seeds

1. Soak dates in hot water for 10 minutes to soften (skip if already soft).

2. Drain dates and add to a food processor with peanut butter, water, vanilla, and salt.

3. Process until it forms a sticky paste.

4. Transfer to a bowl and add oats, chia seeds, and optional mix-ins. Stir until well combined.
