Preparation

ENERGY BITES

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until mostly smooth (small chunks of walnuts are ok).
  2. Use a cookie scoop to form the mixture into about 8 balls and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes.

 

CHOCOLATE SHELL

  1. Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir together for 1 minute, then microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir to melt the rest of the chocolate.

ASSEMBLY

  1. Remove the chilled walnut bites from the refrigerator. Dip them into the magic shell and place back on the foil-lined baking sheet. Before the chocolate has time to harden, sprinkle with bee pollen and matcha powder.
