These energy balls are naturally sweetened and packed with nutrients, offering a perfect balance of healthy fats, fibre, and antioxidants.
Ingredients
250g Walnuts
250g Desiccated coconut
250g Sunflower or pumpkin seeds
12 dates
250g Dark cocoa powder
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tbsp water
Directions
- In a small cup combine water and vanilla extract set aside.
- In a food processor combine walnuts, coconut, seeds and dates. Then add cocoa powder, and vanilla water. Process again until you create a moist (but not soggy mix).
- Using your hands, roll approximately 1-1/2 tsp of mix into mini chunky monkey balls. Place on a tray of baking paper and set in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes, but they are best after being in the fridge overnight.
- These will last in the fridge for 5-7 days.
