Who needs packaged bars and blocks ?

Looking for a healthful snack and fun fuel for your workouts.

Try these combos of Dates, Tahini and Honey ( maple syrup or agave or rice syrup for vegan purists)

The final item can vary by taste.
like chocolate add some cocoa, coconut( dried coconut is great), something nutty- use chopped almonds.

Add dates and tahini and then sweetener to processor and chop/mix throughly (may need to process seperately to get a good chop and then combine with bare hands in big bowl)
Roll into 24 balls- refrigerate and enjoy .

If using these for recovery from running or biking you can add a tablespoon of sea salt to the mix and each ball or nugget will have approximately 250-275 mg of sodium.
