Fudgy Protein Bites

Directions

1. 1
   Place the dates, peanut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times and then process until ingredients combine into a sticky mixture.

   Scrape the mixture into a bowl and add the protein powder. Knead it in with your hands until a smooth dough forms. Let sit 5-10 minutes if you have time.

   Press the dough out into a rectangle and divide into 10-12 equal-sized pieces. Roll each piece between your palms to make a small ball.
