Energy balls, protein balls, bliss balls... whatever you like to call them, there’s no denying they’re handy. Perfect for popping into a lunchbox*, as an afternoon school snack, or when you just need a little something to keep you going.
Our energy balls are made with real food ingredients for a healthier alternative to processed sugary treats. They do include dates, so they're naturally sweet - which makes them satisfying in just one or two.
*Please note: this recipe contains nuts. If you're making them for kid's lunchboxes, do check your school's policy first - some schools are nut-free.
INGREDIENTS
- 40g or 4 very heaped teaspoons of Purition
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 1 cup unsalted mixed nuts
INSTRUCTIONS
- Soak the pitted dates in some 'off the boil' hot water for 5 mins
- In a food processor, pulse a cup of mixed nuts until roughly chopped
- Drain, and to the processor add the dates along with 40-50g of Purition
- Pulse until the mixture is combined
- Smoosh the mixture together and roll into balls (use a tablespoon to help measure)
- Keep in the fridge
SWAPS & OPTIONAL EXTRAS
- This recipe works with all Purition flavours, but some of our favourites to use are the chocolatey and fruity ones
- Try adding cinnamon, turmeric, vanilla extract or goji berries to the mix before rolling
- Once chilled, roll in cocoa powder, desiccated coconut, crushed nuts or melted chocolate!
