My family adore these energy balls. They are a bite size snack packed with quality protein and give a slow-release energy. My husband uses them for cycling while my son eats them between school and his sports clubs for an extra physical boost.
In a food processor (or blender) add –
200g Brazil &/or almond nuts* (or any quality nut that you prefer. I do not use peanuts)
250g Dates
1 Tbsp cacao powder
1 Tbsp Macca powder (or no Macca & 2 Tbsp cacao)
1 Tbsp honey (I use raw honey) *
1 tsp coconut oil
1 tsp bee pollen*
With the cutting blade process this mix to a dough consistency. Roll tsp amounts of dough into balls and roll these in coconut. Makes approximately 25 to 30 balls.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for approximately 2 weeks. Can be eaten 20 minutes after refrigeration.
Optional – try other dried fruits or combinations e.g., apricots and dates.
Use more or less of the cacao & the Macca powders. To your taste.
Add seeds to your mix.
*Allergies – if you have nut or bee product allergies, please seek further advice from me.
