Preparation duration: 10 minutes

 

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons cacao nibs

2 tablespoons chia seeds

2/3 cup all natural creamy peanut butter

3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

6 large Medjool dates, pitted

1 1/3 cups oats

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 tablespoons water

Equipment:

bowl

food processor

wooden spoon

Cooking instruction summary:

In a large bowl, stir together oats, chia seeds and cacao nibs. Set aside.Add dates and water to the bowl of a food processor and process a few times until dates begin to break down a bit and form a paste. Next add in maple syrup, vanilla and peanut butter; process again until it begins to look like a wet cookie dough and ingredients are well combined.Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon. I like to use my hands because it's much easier to get everything mixed well. I know it's a little messy, so my advice is to coat your hands with a small amount of coconut oil so that the dough doesn't stick. Once the ingredients are well combined, form into 1 inch balls. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Balls will last for 5-7 days or can be frozen for up to a month.

Food Joke

I'll swallow it all . . . I love the taste. Are you sure you've had enough to drink? I'm bored. Let's shave my pussy! Oh come on, what do ya say we get a good porno movie, a case of beer, a few joints, and have my friend Tammy over for a threesome! God..if I don't get to blow you soon, I swear I'm gonna bust! I know it's a lot tighter back there but would you please try again? You're so sexy when you're hungover. I'd rather watch football and drink beer with you than go shopping. Let's subscribe to Hustler. Would you like to watch me go down on my girlfriend? Say, let's go down to the mall so you can check out women's asses. I'll be out painting the house. I love it when you play golf on Sunday's, I just wish you had time to play on Saturday too. Honey..our new neighbor's daughter is sunbathing again, come see! I've decided to stop wearing clothes around the house. No, No, I'll take the car to have the oil changed. Your mother did a great job raising you. Do me a favor, forget the stupid Valentine's day thing and buy yourself new clubs. I understand fully...our anniversary comes every year for Christ's sake. You go hunting with the guys, it's a wonderful stress reliever. Shouldn't you be down at the bar with your buddies? Christ, not the fucking mall again, come on let's go to that new strip joint! Listen, I make enough money for the both of us, why don't you retire and get that nagging handicap down to 7 or 8. You need your sleep ya big silly, now stop getting up for the night feedings. That was a great fart! Do another one! I signed up for yoga so that I can get my ankles behind my head for ya...
