It's Fall y'all and you know what that means! Everything Pumpkin! These protein balls have all the warm spices you adore from a pumpkin pie, but with 86 calories per bite, you can satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw almonds
• 3/4 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup dates, pitted (about 6)
• 7 pumpkin puree
• 1 scoop
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp nutmeg
• 4 tbsp raw pumpkin seeds
• 2 tbsp mini sugar free chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Add the almonds, oats, dates, pumpkin puree, protein powder, and spices to the food processor. Turn on until a choppy dough forms, several minutes.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of the raw pumpkin seeds, and pulse until combined so the pumpkin seeds remain a little coarse. The dough will be slightly sticky.
3. In a small food processor or NutriBullet, quickly chop the remaining 2 tablespoons of pumpkins seeds with the chocolate chips ‐ this only takes 1 second; you want it chopped, not powdery.
4. Pour mixture into a small bowl.
5. Roll dough into 20 balls, roll each in the pumpkin seed and chocolate chip topping, and place on a clean cookie sheet.
6. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to set. Store uneaten balls in an airtight container in the fridge.
