Directions
Remove any pits from the dates, and shells from the nuts.
Then, add the dates and walnuts to a food processor. Process for about 1-2 minutes, until you achieve a fine grain mixture.
Pick up a small amount and try to press it into a ball with your hands. The grains should form easily.
Shape the mixture into 10-15 energy balls with your hands.
