Healthy no-bake Energy Balls
Healthy snacking? Yes please! These plant based energy balls are made with the good stuff - dark chocolate (cocoa), shredded coconut, healthy fats, and no refined sugar. This basic recipe can still your sweet cravings in no-time.
Ingredients
- 10 dates deseeded
- 50 g walnuts
- 1 tsp cocoa powder (baking cocoa)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp flax seeds
- 30 g shredded coconut plus a bit extra if you wish to coat your energy balls in shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp walnut oil
- 1 tbsp water
- a pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Add the dates and all the dry ingredients to your nutriblender / food processor and pulse for about a minute until the ingredients are well cut and mixed.
- Then pour the mix from your nutriblender / food processor over in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the water and walnut oil and mix well with a spoon or similar. You should feel the mixture sticking together. See the video below if needed.
- Take about a tablespoon of dough and shape it into a ball form using your hands. For me, this recipe makes 12 energy balls, but if you like your treats smaller or bigger then make them the perfect size for you.
- If you love coconut you can roll the done energy balls in shredded coconut.
- You can eat the energy balls straight away, or place the energy balls on a plate or a trey and refrigerate them for 2+ hours. I prefer them after they have been i the fridge for a couple of hours as they harden a bit, but they are by all means also delicious to enjoy straight away.
