Almond Energy Bites
1 cup almond meal (leftover from almond milk)
1/3 cup almond butter
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
2 Tablespoons coconut oil
2 Tablespoons honey or molasses or maple syrup
Put all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. This should take less than a minute. Transfer mixture to a small bowl and place in the freezer for several hours until firm. Roll into balls. I got about 15, but it depends on how big you make them.
I store these in the freezer, as they get quite soft. They can be eaten frozen, or can stand at room temperature for 10-20 minutes to soften. You can probably keep them in the fridge as well for short-term storage. I know they don't look that great, but they are nutritious, high-protein, and taste great!
This is a great way to use up the almond meal you have leftover from making almond milk! I make them right after I make the milk, and just leave the almonds in the food processor It is very convenient this way. Any combination of nuts and nut butters may be used in this recipe.
