The kind of snack you make once, then reach for without thinking.

Make a batch. Hide them from yourself. Fail immediately.

The Nutribullet Triple Prep System does all the heavy lifting — dates, peanut butter, cocoa, blended into a smooth, sticky paste in about the time it takes you to find a snack in the back of the cupboard. No sticky knives. No elbow grease. Just roll and go.

Did you know?

When you go too long without eating, blood sugar levels can drop, which often shows up as low energy, poor concentration, or cravings.

Snacks that combine natural sugars (like dates) with fats help provide a quick source of energy, while slowing how quickly it’s used.

Which means you feel better, for longer.

Recipe

Serves: 10 ballsDifficulty: Easy

Ingredients

1 cup dates (pitted)
¼ cup peanut butter
2 tbsp cocoa powder
¼ cup desiccated coconut (plus extra for rolling)
1 tbsp chia seeds
3 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1 tsp salt
Optional: ¼ cup protein powder

Watch the full step-by-step below.

Method

Add dates to the Nutribullet Triple Prep System food processor and blend until broken down and sticky.
Add peanut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup or honey, and salt and blend until a smooth, sticky paste forms.
Add desiccated coconut and chia seeds, then pulse until combined. If using protein powder, add it in at this stage and blend until combined — add 1–2 tsp extra peanut butter or maple syrup as needed to bring the mixture together.
Roll mixture into approximately 10 balls, then roll in extra coconut if desired.
Place in the fridge for 20–30 minutes to firm up before serving.

You’ll make these as a snack. You’ll eat them for breakfast. We’re not judging.
