I love Sunday’s as it’s usually the day when I get to spend time in my kitchen cooking and making snacks for the week. Today, I’ve got a veggie curry in the slow cooker and I also made these energy balls.

Ingredients

• 12 Dates
• 75g Almond Nuts
• 75g Cashew Nuts
• 1 Tbsp Cocoa
• 1 Tbsp Ground Flax
• 1 Tbsp Maca
• 2 Tbsp Nut Butter
• 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
• Sesame seeds

*Don’t worry if you don’t have any Maca or Flax in your cupboard. They are optional but I add them as they are high in iron, zinc, magnesium & fibre.

Method

• Boil the kettle and pour 100mls of water on to the dates to soften them.
• Drain the water, remove the stones and add the dates to the food processor.
• Blend for 30 seconds
• Add all of the ingredients to the food processor
• Blend for 1 minute
• Melt a little bit of coconut oil in your palm
• Roll the mixture in your palm into a ball
• Roll the ball through the sesame seeds
• Store in the fridge.
• Eat within 5 days (mine never last that long because we eat them all!)

*Did You KNOW? Sesame seeds are mega high in calcium, omega 3 & protein.

This week I’m training a lot so I’m trying to make sure I’m getting lots of iron and protein. These energy balls are full of the good stuff and they taste amazing. Winner!
