​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.





Energy Balls
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
1 tbsp honey (I use raw honey)*
1 tsp coconut oil
1 tsp bee polleen*

 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.
