These energy balls are everything you need right now. They are chock full of dates, tahini, coconut and a little honey for sweetness…somehow walking the line between a little savory and perfectly sweet.
These come together in the food processor and, after a quick roll in coconut flakes, head to the refrigerator for all your snacking needs.
I sent these with some friends who went on Ragbrai (the annual bike ride across Iowa) for a quick energy boost, as they travel well and are perfectly suitable to eat at room temperature.
I highly recommend using Soom tahini-it’s the best I’ve ever tasted and has no nut contaminants for anyone with allergies. Also, definitely use unsweetened coconut flakes to control the amount of sweetness in your energy balls! I love Trader Joe’s or Bob’s Red Mill unsweetened coconut flakes. You can just buzz them up in the food processor before you put the rest of the ingredients in to make them a finer texture.
Are these giving anyone else the wintery feels? I think this is my color palette inspiration going into the winter wonderland.
Worried about that mid-afternoon energy crash?! These have got you covered!
