Energy balls, protein balls, bliss balls... whatever you like to call them, there’s no denying that they’re perfect for a mid afternoon pick-me-up or when you just need a little something.
Our energy balls are a healthier alternative to processed sugary treats, but they're still made with dates, which are high in sugar. Whilst this is natural sugar, it’s still sugar – so be mindful of how many and how often you’re eating them.
Everything in moderation, as they say!
INGREDIENTS
- 40g or 4 very heaped teaspoons of Purition
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 1 cup unsalted 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 nits 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 flavours are the chocolatey and fruity ones
- Try adding cinnamon, turmeric, vanilla extract or goji berries to the mix before rolling
- Once chilled, roll in desiccated coconut, crushed nuts or melted chocolate for an after dinner treat!
