Ingredients and Method

Ingredients

  • 50g ground almonds
  • 130g rolled oats
  • 6-8 dates (pitted)
  • Dash of coconut water
  • 2 1/2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tsp chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 tsp matcha green tea powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 4 tbsp fine desiccated coconut

Method

  1. To prepare multiple batches, layer all of the dry ingredients in a Kilner® Jar for future use. By keeping all of the dry ingredients in one jar, it makes prep time shorter and simpler.
  2. Combine the energy ball ingredients together by tipping the contents of the jar into a food processor along with the coconut oil and agave/maple syrup. Add a dash of the coconut water to the mix and keep blending until you get a moist mixture that is soft but still holds its form.
  3. Roll up those little bursts of energy into balls of your desired size.
  4. Keep in the fridge for up to 7 days, or in the freezer for a couple of weeks - if they last that long.

Recipe Tips

You can substitute the matcha powder for 1tsp of turmeric or a dash of beetroot juice.
