pistachio date #energybites

Stole this gem from one of my favorite food blog and recipe index.

These energy bites are gluten free, vegan and grain free (nut free: substitute pistachio for rolled oats). As I begin to familiarize myself with the many foods my body can and can’t tolerate, like any other human being on this planet I do have a sweet tooth. My Whole Food Life is my go to food blog whenever I am in the mood for something sweet and simple, and surely my cravings are always satisfied.

• ½ cup raw pepitas
• ½ cup raw sunflower seeds
• ½ cup raw pistachios
• 1 T maca powder
• 1 T chia seeds
• 10 medjool dates (pits removed)
