Chocolate Shakeology Date Ball Cookie
This is the Chocolate Shakeology Date Nut no bake cookies/bar that I featured earlier. It tastes like the Lara Jocalat bars.. What better way to get your kids to eat fruit and fiber..
I love the premade bars and thought I could reproduce them in my own kitchen. After playing around with these bars for a while I wanted to incorporate something new, I thought about adding Shakeology® instead of cocoa and tried it in the next batch, that is a very good addition and I would recommend it as it add a lot of nutrition to the mix. This is a very flexible recipe, you can add a variety of ingredients to personalize this cookie to your taste but do need the dates or plums as a base.
Chocolate Shakeology Date Ball Cookie
- * Dates or Plums (1 cup, pitted, chopped)
- * Walnuts (1 cup, chopped)
- * Cocoa (dry powder, unsweetened, .25 cup (or one scoop chocolate Shakeology®))
- * Natural peanut butter (2 tbsp)
- * Granola (.25 cup)
- * Banana (fresh, .5 medium (7" to 7-7/8" long))
- * Coconut (shredded unsweetened, 3 tbsp)
- Place the dates, walnuts, cocoa powder, peanut butter and banana in a food processor and blend well. Add granola and pulse a few times to incorporate into the mix.
- Shape approximately 1 tablespoon of mix into a ball and roll in the flaked coconut (optional). Place in an airtight container and refrigerate.
I add a variety of nuts and also dried cranberries and will not always roll in coconut. I also use premade granola and most of my ingredients are organic by choice. Chocolate Shakeology® adds a tremendous amount of nutrition to this cookie, but you can experiment with Greenberry or other Shakeology flavors as well.
Intelligent post! You have a really cool site here!
Thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed it.
The fact that dates are part of the ingredients used to make the date-ball cookie makes me crave for it. Hopefully the dates used are the medjool-dates.
