Nutty Blueberry Protein Balls

Recipe taken directly from Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint Quick and Easy Meals

4 dates, pits removed
1 C Walnuts
1/2 C macadamia nuts
2 Tbs. coconut oil
1/2 C fresh blueberries
1/2 C unsweetened shredded coconut
Pulverize dates in a food processor until a paste forms, about 40 second (the paste will typically come together in a clump). Add walnuts and macadamia nuts and blend until very finely chopped, about 35 seconds. With the blade still running, drizzle coconut oil and stop as soon as the oil is blended in. Scrape the batter into a bowl and stir in the blueberries and 1/4 cup of the coconut. Form the batter into round balls, then roll in leftover shredded coconut. Refrigerate.

 ET's note**fresh blueberries can get runny, I've found that dried fruit helps it stay together better**
