Method

Check the dates for pits. If they are dry, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes and drain well.
Blend the dates in a food processor for about 1 minute, scraping down, until they form a sticky paste.
Add the oats, almond butter, protein powder, cocoa, chia seeds and vanilla and pulse until the mixture clumps together when pressed. Add 1 tsp of water if dry.
Roll into 20 bites, about 1 tablespoon each, with damp hands.
Chill for 30 minutes to firm up. Two bites are a serving. Keeps 1 week in the fridge or 3 months frozen.
