I just signed up for a half marathon so it’s on. I’m planning my exercise and running schedule and my diet. I went a little overboard during the holidays. .  snacking on all sorts of junk and eating way too many holiday cookies.

But I guess that’s what January is for. To get back into shape.

I’m a huge snacker. I love to nibble on things throughout the day so it’s imperative for me to have healthy choices around me and in my kitchen. For me, it’s about always having fresh fruit, nuts, almonds, cashews and sweet treat snacks like these truffles.

These Brownie Date Truffles are pretty amazing. You start by pulsing up your dates. I used Brownie Date Truffles made with Dole California Whole Pitted Dates! Packed with fiber, protein and covered with energy boosting superfood goodness, you have to try these!

You want to pulse until you get a sticky paste that kind of looks like this. You want this consistency because this will help everything to stick together when you add the other ingredients.

Then, you simply add almond butter and unsweetened cocoa and a few other things and pulse everything up again in your food processor and then you shape them into balls.

Next, comes to fun part! You roll these in fun, delicious, superfood toppings like: raw organic cacao nibs, hazelnuts, ground almond flour, coconut flakes, hemp seeds or whatever you want!

The cacao nibs were my fave! I love the taste and the crunch!

Throw them in the fridge for at least an hour and enjoy! Now, with any snack, you also have to consider portion control. I suggest not eating more than 2 of these in one sitting. And if you are consuming these or other energy boosting treats, make sure you are exercising too!

Have a great week you guys!
