Salty Energy Bites

Ingredients

Makes 18 bites. With two stick packs in the batch, three bites carry about a third of a serving of electrolytes, roughly 90 mg of sodium per bite.

• 2 stick packs (2 servings) Saltivate Raw Unflavored
• 1 cup pitted Medjool dates (about 10 to 12), packed
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 to 2 tbsp water, only if needed

Instructions

1. If your dates feel firm or dry, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
2. Pulse the dates in a food processor until they form a thick, sticky paste.
3. Add the peanut butter, both stick packs of Saltivate Raw Unflavored, the vanilla, and the cinnamon. Pulse until evenly combined.
4. Add the oats and pulse until the dough holds together when you pinch it. If it stays crumbly, add water 1 tbsp at a time. Glossy, fudgy, and flecked with oats is right.
5. Roll the dough into 18 balls, about 1 tbsp each. Damp hands keep the sticking down.
6. Chill the bites for 30 minutes so they firm up before you pack or eat them.
