Ingredients

For the Peanut Butter

10 medjool dates pitted
1 cup peanuts
1/4 cup creamy, all-natural peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon water* or more, as needed
2 tablespoons honey

For the Jelly

10 medjool dates pitted
1/2 cup unsweetened dried blueberries
1 cup raw almonds or cashews we've used both!
1/4 teaspoon water* or more, as needed
pinch of salt

Instructions

For the Peanut Butter Side

Place peanuts in a high-speed food processor and process on high for about a minute or until the peanuts turn into a meal. Then, add in medjool dates, peanut butter, and honey. Mix for 1-2 minutes or until your dough is formed. If the dough is too dry at this point, add some water in 1/4 teaspoon increments. NOTE- add water in very small amounts, you don't need much! I used 1/4 teaspoon.
Scoop out a heaping teaspoon of the dough and roll it into balls. Repeat. You should get around 24 balls.

For the Jelly Side

Place the nuts in a high-speed food processor and process for about a minute or until the nuts turn into a meal.
Then, add in medjool dates, dried blueberries, and salt. Process on high for about 1-2 minutes or until your dough is formed. If things are too dry, add some water in 1/4 teaspoon increments. NOTE- add water in very small amounts, you don't need much! I used 1/4 teaspoon.
Scoop out a heaping teaspoon of the dough and roll it into balls. Repeat.

For the PB and J Swirl Energy Balls

Press a peanut butter ball and a jelly ball together and roll between your palms to create a PB and J Swirl Ball.
