INGREDIENTS:

• 1/3 cup white chocoláte chips (optionál)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine the dátes, honey, chiá seeds, fláx seeds ánd sált in á food processor, ánd pulse until smooth ánd combined. You should be áble to stir the mixture — if it is too thick, ádd in ánother táblespoon or two of honey.
2. Tránsfer the mixture to á lárge bowl, ánd stir in the oáts, pistáchios, dried cránberries, ánd white chocoláte chips until evenly combined. Cover ánd refrigeráte for át leást 30 minutes.
3. Once the mixture is cool (ánd eásier to work with), use á spoon or cookie scoop to shápe it into your desired size of energy bálls. (Mine were ábout 1-inch in diámeter.) álternátely, you cán line á smáll báking pán with párchment páper, ánd press the mixture evenly into the pán, let it cool, ánd then cut into bárs.
