These after-school snacks are bursting with energy and with natural sweetness from the coconut and dates. They’re the perfect boost to get through a busy afternoon!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dried apricots
• 1/2 cup pitted dates
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 3 tablespoons water
• Pinch of salt
• 1/3 cup + 1/4 cup walnuts, divided
• 1/2 cup almonds, divided

1. Combine the apricots and dates in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped.
2. Add the coconut, flax, water, and salt; pulse to blend.
3. Add 1/3 cup walnuts and 1/4 cup almonds to the mixture, and process until it forms a ball – the mixture will be quite sticky.
4. Finely chop the remaining 1/4 cup walnuts and 1/4 cup almonds, and transfer to a shallow bowl.
5. Using wet hands, divide the apricot mixture into tablespoon-size balls, rolling between your hands, and then rolling in the chopped nuts.
6. Refrigerate at least 45 minutes before serving.
