Almond, Coconut and Date Bites Popular Ingredients
- 2 cups Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsalted roasted whole almonds
- 1/3 cup whole golden flax seeds
- Kosher salt
- 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup almond butter (or your preferred nut butter)
- 1/3 cup cacao nibs
Steps for making Almond, Coconut and Date Bites
- Place the dates in a medium bowl and cover with warm water (about 100 degrees F). Let sit for 2 minutes. Drain well and place in a food processor with the oats, almonds, flax seeds and 1 teaspoon salt. Process until the oats and almonds are minced, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup coconut flakes, the almond butter and cacao nibs and blend until fully incorporated, scraping the sides of the food processor down as needed, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Shape the mixture into 2 tablespoon-sized balls (a 1-ounce scoop works well here). Once all of the mixture has been shaped, place the remaining 1/4 cup of coconut flakes in a small bowl and roll each ball in the coconut flakes to fully coat. Store in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

- Healthy – Health, according to the World Health Organization, is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity”. A variety of definitions have been used for different purposes over time. Health can be promoted by encouraging healthful activities, such as regular physical exercise and adequate sleep, and by reducing or avoiding unhealthful activities or situations, such as smoking or excessive stress. Some factors affecting health are due to individual choices, such as whether to engage in a high-risk behavior, while others are due to structural causes, such as whether the society is arranged in a way that makes it easier or harder for people to get necessary healthcare services. Still other factors are beyond both individual and group choices, such as genetic disorders.

- Fruit – In botany, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants that is formed from the ovary after flowering.Fruits are the means by which flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) disseminate their seeds. Edible fruits in particular have long propagated using the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship that is the means for seed dispersal for the one group and nutrition for the other; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food. Consequently, fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world’s agricultural output, and some (such as the apple and the pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.In common language usage, “fruit” normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures (or produce) of plants that typically are sweet or sour and edible in the raw state, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. In botanical usage, the term “fruit” also includes many structures that are not commonly called “fruits”, such as nuts, bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains.
