Tropical Kale Superfood Granola Bites
Makes 15-20 Granola Bites
Here's What You Need (Granola Bites):
- 1 cup Tropical Kale Superfood Granola
- 4-5 Dates, pitted
Here's How to Make Them:
Add 1 cup of Tropical Kale Superfood Granola to a food processor and blitz for 45-60 seconds, then add in 4-5 dates (make sure they are pitted) and blitz for another 45-60 seconds. Once the mixture is sticky enough to pinch together (that is what you want), take it out of the food processor and roll the "dough" into balls.
PRO TIPS :
How to make a Pineapple Fruit Boat: Stand pineapple upright; vertically cut about a third from 1 side, leaving the top attached. Remove fruit and discard outer peel from the smaller section. Remove fruit from the large section, leaving a 1/2-in. shell and fill with your smoothie!
Granola Bites: These freeze really well, so they are the perfect make-ahead-of-time treats. Keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 10 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Okay at room temperature for a few days if kept cool and dry.
Dates: It’s important to use soft, moist dates. If your dates are dry, soak them in hot water for 10-15 minutes then drain well before adding them to the food processor.
