First, I'll show you how to make cookie dough like mixture, using 5 healthy ingredients.

Next, you'll see how to use different mix-ins to make these energy balls even more delicious and nutritious.

This recipe uses date paste as a sweetener. The easiest way is to go with the store-bought date paste, but you can make your own date paste in just 5 minutes.

Simply fill the glass jar with the dried pitted dates (the cheap ones), cover with hot water, put the lid on and let it sit for 1 hour.

Then, you'll have to transfer the dates and the water into the blender and blend into a smooth paste. It's that simple!
