Rooftop Ascent Energy Bites
Inspired by the quiet resilience required on Day One, these compact energy bites provide critical, silent fuel for navigating a world where every sound is a risk. Their hearty, portable nature offers sustained nourishment, embodying fortitude in every bite.
Directions
- 1
Add the pitted Medjool dates to a food processor and process until a sticky paste forms, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides once.
- 2
Introduce the rolled oats, shredded coconut, almond butter, chia seeds, cocoa powder, sea salt, and vanilla extract to the food processor.
- 3
Process the mixture until it begins to come together and forms a coarse, thick dough, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
- 4
If the mixture appears too dry or crumbly, add the filtered water, one tablespoon at a time, continuing to process until a cohesive dough forms that holds its shape when pressed.
- 5
Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and, using clean hands, roll the dough into 12-14 small, uniform balls, each approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- 6
Place the formed energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or platter.
- 7
Refrigerate the energy bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up, ensuring they maintain their shape.
- 8
Serve chilled or at room temperature, providing a silent, sustaining snack.
