1 Tbsp. ground flax seed
pinch of salt

1 cup shelled pistachio nuts
1 cup dried cranberries

Here is how you make Cranberry Pistachio Energy Bites:

Combine the dates, honey, chia seeds, flax seeds and salt in a food processor, and pulse until smooth and combined. You should be able to stir the mixture -- if it is too thick, add in another tablespoon or two of honey.Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, and stir in the oats, pistachios, dried cranberries, and white chocolate chips until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.Once the mixture is cool (and easier to work with), use a spoon or cookie scoop to shape it into your desired size of energy balls. (Mine were about 1-inch in diameter.) Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. (Storing them in the refrigerator especially helps the energy bites hold their shape.)Serving Size: 30 1 in ballsNumber of Servings: 30Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user HALEIGHTODD.
