Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw cashews

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Place raw cashews in a food processor and blend until finely ground.

  • Add cocoa powder or chocolate chips for variation.
  • Store in fridge up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
  • Soften dates if needed by soaking in warm water.
