Long time no new recipe!! I definitely haven’t given myself the time to try anything new recently but decided to mess around with a few ingredients during the week and came up with these energy balls. To be honest you can be as creative as you like with energy/protein balls, that’s the great thing about them and why you’ll probably find so many different recipes for them out there. But they’re a great snack to have ready especially when you’re on the go. I made these at the start of the weekend and they lasted me for the week ahead, I had one every day for my mid-morning snack 🙂

These are the ingredients and method I used but feel free to use it as a guideline and leave out or include different ingredients if you fancy 😀

Ingredients

200g pitted/medjool dates (medjool dates are probably best to use as they’re softer but are more expensive so go half pitted/half medjool if you wish..just make sure to take out the pit if you’re using medjool!)

100g warm water

60g cacao powder

200g mixed seeds (sunflower/pumpkin)

40g bee pollen

40g cacao nibs

40g goji berries

1 tsp of himalayan salt

desiccated coconut/chia seed to coat the balls

Method

1. Soak your dates in the warm water for 5-10 minutes.
2. In a food processor, put the dates, water and cacao powder and blitz until combined.
3. Add the seeds and pulse again until roughly combined.
4. Add the bee pollen, cacao nibs, goji berries and salt and blitz again.
5. The mixture should have come together now.
6. Using your hands, weigh out the balls at 50g each and roll into a ball.
7. Once they are all weighed out. Roll the balls in desiccated coconut or chia seeds if you like, you can also leave them plain and not cover them in anything.
8. To store them, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge as this will keep them for longer. They should keep like this for up to a week or 2 weeks max.

Enjoy,

Tee 🙂 X
