    METHOD

    Pulse the bananas, walnuts, 1/2 cup (65 g) pepitas, flaxseed, dates, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in a food processor fitted with an S-blade until they form a slightly chunky dough. If you process too much, you will end up with a mushy paste.

    Make approximately twenty 1-tbsp. (10 g) dough balls and place them on a baking sheet to chill for 10 minutes. Place the remaining 1/2 cup (65 g) pepitas in a small bowl and chop them into smaller pieces.

    After chilling, press each ball into the pepita pieces to crust the outside of each protein bite.

    Serve immediately or keep in the fridge for up to 10 days for snacking.
    RECIPE NOTES

    Mix 1 tbsp. (10 g) of your favourite unflavored greens powder into the mixture while processing to add a pop of colour and even more nutrition.
