High Fibre Energy Balls
Each ingredient in these High Fibre Energy Balls is naturally high in fibre, but together they create the perfect snack to help you reach your daily fibre goals. Made with almonds, dates, prunes, flax and hemp seeds plus some cacao powder for chocolatiness, they’re a great fibre top-up!
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup soft medjool dates (about 125g)
- 1 cup prunes (160g)
- 1 cup raw, unsalted almonds (140g)
- 4 tbsp ground flax
- 2 tbsp shelled hemp seeds
- 3 tbsp cacao powder
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Optional toppings:
- A drizzle of dark chocolate and some extra chopped nuts
Instructions
- Pit the dates and add them to a food processor with the prunes, almonds, flax, hemp seeds, cacao powder and vanilla bean paste.
- Blend until smooth. This might take a few minutes. If it doesn’t come together, add 1- 2 tbsp of water (it will depend on how soft your dates and prunes are). Keep blending until soft and sticky.
- Roll the mixture into 12 balls and refrigerate to firm up.
- Optional step: drizzle over melted dark chocolate and a few chopped almonds.
Notes
- Keep them in the fridge and they'll last for about a week.
- They freeze well too.
