Cuisine: Mediterranean Diet
Serves: 14 Balls
Ingredients
  • 150g (1 cup) Pitted dried dates
  • 50g (1/2 cup) Raw almonds
  • 50g (1/3 cup) Raw pine nuts
  • 3 Tablespoons organic whole grain gluten free oats
  • 2 Tablespoons 100% raw cacao
  • 2 Tablespoons organic matcha powder (for the coating)
Instructions
  1. Add the dates, almonds, pine nuts, oats and raw cacao into a food processor and mix until well incorporated.
  2. To make the energy balls, roll about a tablespoon of the mix between your palms until you get a bite-size ball. Repeat the same process with the rest of the dough.
  3. Put the matcha powder onto a small plate and coat each of the balls in them.
Notes
Store them in the fridge; they will keep for about a week, or maybe a bit more (at home they never last longer, so I can’t really say!). You could also freeze them and unfreeze when you fancy a snack.

The organic raw cacao and organic matcha powder I use are from Iswari and I am glad to let you know that you can get a 10% discount on their online store by using the code: TASTYMED
