← CHAPTER OVERVIEW
How about something sweet and healthy?
I love these little energy balls – they are sweet and tasty and healthy and can keep you going for a long time.
We will get into healthy snacking and many other fun and mindful ways of eating in the next chapter, but it never hurts to get a head start.
These energy balls are something great to bring to longer meetings or discussions, just for yourself – or for your team or community – as they’ll give you, and everyone else, the energy to get you through any topic 🙂
I will share one basic recipe with you here, but you can find many more variations if you look for sugar-free energy balls – or try around with it a bit yourself.
Coconut Date Energy Balls
Ingredients:
You can really pick and choose here, but some basics are:
oats
dates
nuts or nut butter
seeds
spices
raisins or other dry or fresh berries
chocolate chips
honey or maple syrup
shredded coconut for coating
If you are using dates as a main sweetener, you need to remove the pits and then soak them in water for a bit for best usage.
You can put them in a bowl to blend them with a magic wand and then add oats, nuts or nut butter and whatever else you desire until it becomes a sticky dough.
You can even add carrots, or apples, pumpkin or muesli.
Once the dough has a nice consistency, you roll little balls and cover them in shredded coconut. You can use a dark chocolate coating as well.
As I usually make more than I can eat in a few days, so I just keep what I can eat in the fridge and freeze the rest.
I can then simply take one or two out to defrost and eat during the day.
Enjoy!
