With school season already in swing in some areas, and cold/flu season just around the corner, taking a spoonful or two of Elderberry Boost syrup is a great way to stay healthy. These balls are a great addition for mixing up how you take in our yummy syrup! They are a nourishing snack with a punch of immunity strengthening from the added Elderberry Boost.

Akin to a warm bowl of oatmeal in the morning, these balls are a quick way to get some energy and nutrients. And only 5 ingredients! They are moist, chewy and delicious.

Ingredients

-1 cup of pitted dates

-1 cup of oats

-4 tbsp of almond butter (or other nut butter)

-1.5 tbsp of Elderberry Boost syrup

-a few pinches of salt

(makes about 20 balls)

1. Soak the dates in boiling water (enough to cover over the dates) for 5 minutes (alternatively, you can place dates in water in the microwave for about 1 minute).

2. Strain the dates from the water, and pulse them in a food processor until they blend into small pieces (mushy is okay too!).

3. Add the oats to the dates and blend them together.

4. Put mixture into a medium bowl and add the almond butter, Elderberry Boost syrup & salt. Mix with a fork.

5. Form the mixture into balls with your hands about an inch wide.

6. Enjoy! Store at room temperature for up to a few days or in the fridge for a week.
