Energy Balls
These energy balls are made with dry fruits and nuts and the soft texture and sweetness come from the soft dates.
I used Deglet Noor but Medjool or any soft variety is fine. https://harvesttotable.com/popular_date_varietieshere_are/
You can find tons of recipes on the net if you google “energy balls”. I got inspired by this blog: https://fitfoodiefinds.com/12-energy-ball-recipes/
Or you can create your own!
