Nut Free Energy Balls

Makes approx 20 balls

This is one of my most loved and shared no bake snack recipes! I make tons of these balls throughout the school year. Having a stash in the freezer to pop into the lunchbox for school is a life saver!

Step 1: To make the balls: Add the dates to a bowl and cover with boiling water to soften.

Step 2: Meanwhile blend the oats, seeds, coconut, cocoa powder

Drain the dates and add them to the blender.

Blend until it looks like a thick paste. If it looks dry and won’t roll, add a dash of water and blend again.

Step 3: Roll into balls – big or small- whichever you prefer.

Add the extra coconut to a wide bowl.

To help the coconut stick, wet your hands and roll the balls again then add to the coconut.

Step 3: Label a food bag and add the balls.

Storage: Store in zip lock bags. They will keep for a week in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
