Energy Balls- Goji Berry

Makes 1 ½ - 2 dozen

3 Tablespoons almond butter

3 Tablespoons Goji berries, dried

2 Tablespoons beet powder

2 Tablespoons unsweetened canned pumpkin puree

½ teaspoon Nature’s Sunshine® Stixated powdered drink mix

1 scoop Love and Peas® protein powder (Sugar Free)

Directions:

1) Place the almond butter, Goji berries, beet powder, pumpkin, Stixated® and protein powder in a food processor and process until a soft, moldable dough is formed. You may need to scrape down the sides in between processing.

2) Pinch off a small amount of dough and roll between your hands to make large gumball size balls.

3) These are good without a coating, but if you would like to coat them with something that is optional. If coating, place a few of them in a sandwich baggie and shake to coat with your favorite coating:

Cocoa powder

Coconut flakes

Chia seeds

Finely chopped nuts

4) Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
