Raw Coconut & Cacao Energy Balls (ENG)

These coconut and cacao energy balls are the perfect healthy, delicious and energetic snack. They're quick and easy to prepare and can last up to a week in an airtight container.

They are delicious as is, or crumbled into some plant-based yogurt or into an açai bowl.

Caution: they are deeply addictive!



Ingredients for 20 energy balls:

  • 70g desiccated coconut + extra for coating

  • 10 pitted dates (possibly, Medjool dates)

  • 140g almonds (alternatively: cashews)

  • 2 tsp cacao powder

  • Optional: 1 Tbsp almond butter or other nut butter


Method:

1. Place the almonds and the desiccated coconut into a food processor and pulse until you get a sandy texture.

2. Add the cacao powder and the dates and pulse until a sticky paste forms (if it crumbles, just add more dates).

3. Scatter some extra desiccated coconut on a plate.

4. Use your hands (or an ice cream scoop) to form 20 balls and roll them in the desiccated coconut to form a coating. If the mixture happens to be too sticky and you have trouble creating the balls, having slightly wet hands might help.

5. Place the energy balls in the fridge for a couple of hours before enjoying.



Notes:

These energy balls can last up to a week if stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

It's also possible to freeze them. In that case, they will last up to a few months.

The coconut coating can be replaced by a cacao powder coating.
