These energy balls marry cranberries and pistachios for a festive pick-me-up to fuel a workout or enjoy as an afternoon snack. Tahini has a mild taste that doesn’t overpower the other flavors, but any nut butter, from almond butter to cashew butter, can be used in its place.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup lightly salted shelled pistachios
  • 1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup pitted dates
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

Directions

  1. Add pistachios, cranberries and dates to a food processor; process until the ingredients are broken into smaller pieces, 10 to 15 seconds. Add oats, tahini, lemon juice and maple syrup. Continue processing until a thick paste forms, 40 to 60 seconds. With wet hands (to prevent the mixture from sticking to them), roll the mixture into 20 balls, about 1 tablespoon each.
