🛒 Ingredients

▢ 2 cups mixed nuts use a blend like cashews and almonds for balanced flavor and texture
▢ 1 cup Medjool dates pitted and very soft for easy blending
▢ 1 cup dried blueberries unsweetened if possible for better control of sweetness
▢ 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract pure vanilla for best aroma
▢ 1 lemon zest finely grated to brighten the flavor
▢ ¼ teaspoon sea salt fine salt to balance the sweetness

📋 Instructions

Place the mixed nuts into a food processor and pulse until they are broken down into small, pea-sized bits.
Add the dates and dried blueberries to the processor and blend until the mixture looks crumbly but starts to cling together slightly, about 1–2 minutes.
Pour in the vanilla, sprinkle in the lemon zest, and add the salt.
Continue processing, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until the mixture fully comes together into one sticky mass, about 3–5 minutes.
Scoop and roll the mixture into small balls, then store them in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to enjoy.

📝 Notes

Tiny, soft, and bursting with blueberry flavor, these bites feel like something you’d sneak from a bakery counter. They’re perfect to keep in the fridge for those moments when you want something sweet but still feel good about your choice.
