Nut Free Energy Balls
Struggling with nut-free lunchbox ideas? These Nut Free Energy Balls are made with tahini and shelled hemp seeds instead of nuts. They’re still delicious, just school-safe. One ball = ~4g protein too. Win-win.
Equipment
- Magimix food processor *affiliate link
Ingredients
- 1½ cups medjool dates (200g)
- 1 cup shelled hemp seeds (120g)
- 3 tbsp cacao powder
- 4 tbsp tahini
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
Instructions
- Pit the dates and add them to a food processor with the other ingredients.
- 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 are). Keep blending until soft and sticky.
- Roll the mixture into 14 balls and refrigerate to firm up.
Notes
- For best results, store in the fridge until needed.
- They can be frozen too.
- If you don’t have shelled hemp seeds, substitute for sunflower seeds.
