Directions Pulse walnuts and oats into coarse crumbs. Add dates, chia, vanilla and cinnamon; process until sticky. Roll into 16 balls and coat as desired. Chill until firm. Inspired by Shared Food Patterns
Blue Zone Connection The combination of dates, walnuts, oats and chia seeds keeps this recipe centered on whole and minimally processed plant foods. That approach is consistent with the plant-forward eating pattern associated with Loma Linda. This is a modern Blue Zone–inspired recipe, not a traditional Loma Linda dish.
Helpful Notes If the mixture feels dry, process in one additional date at a time. Chill before serving so the bites firm up and hold their shape. Estimated Nutrition Per serving
