Trailblazer Bites - Trader Joe’s

These trailblazer bites are made with just 6 wholesome ingredients, almonds, Medjool dates, almonds butter, oats, flaxseed meal and dark chocolate.  I got the recipe from Trader Joe's website and you can purchase every ingredient from Trader Joe's too.  Of course you don't have to use TJ's products as you can find these ingredients at any grocery store.

  

The Medjool dates. and almond butter make these energy balls deliciously sweet.  They are quick and easy to make in the food processor, and they keep for weeks in the fridge or freezer.  They can be enjoyed for breakfast, snack or dessert.  

1/2 cup TJ's Raw Almonds

1 cup (10-12)  TJ's Organic Pitted Medjool Dates **see note

2 Tablespoons TJ's Organic Flaxseed Meal

1/3 cup plus 2 Tablespoons TJ's Creamy Salted Almond Butter *see note

1/2 cups Oatmeal (not instant)

1/3 cup dark Chocolate chips, chopped or chopped dark chocolate bar

1.  Combine all the ingredients in the food processor and pulse until ingredients are combined and finely crumbled and moist enough to form into balls. 

2.  Scoop and form mixture into desired size balls,  I like golfball size.  Enjoy immediately or store bites in airtight container in fridge.  Can also be stored in freezer, thaw and enjoy. 

Notes

*I like to use Trader Joe's Creamy Salted Almond butter but if you don't have a TJ's close to you use creamy almond butter with a smooth consistency to make this recipe.

**If your dates are hard and dry, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes and drain well.  Also if they're not pitted, remove pits before making.
