Notes
To make in WildSide+ or FourSide jar, follow the instructions below.

- "Pulse" 6-8 times then scrape sides of jar back down to the blade.
- Add dates and secure lid.
- "Pulse" 2-3 times, scrape sides of jar back down to blade.
- Add the remaining cashews and secure lid.
- "Pulse" 4 times, scrape sides of jar back down to blade.

Dates blend better in the Twister jar. Another option that would help when blending in the WildSide+ or FourSide jar is to use date paste rather than raw dates.
Sure! The taste will be different but it should work!
Yay! We love that you made them your own. Thanks for sharing how they turned out!
Just made some…. easy, tasty, and use cranberries instead of blueberry. (dried blueberries are hard like a rock!) Thanks!
Great recipe. Had a little mishap though. I didn’t have Medjool dates so used 6 smaller pitted ones instead. Now it turns out one of them still had a pip in and it’s now broken up throughout the mixture. Should I throw it away or can I keep blending it with a bit more liquid until all the bits are pulverised?
Mmmm Mmmm GOOD!
I am missing a touch of sweet, next time will need to be more creative :)
