These healthy homemade protein energy balls are ideal as a workout snack. Our guests love them, so we thought we would share a couple of recipes we use here at the retreat. They give us the needed energy boost during our surfing lessons. Not only are they super easy to make, (no bake) but delicious and addicting!
RECIPE 1
1 Cup raw almonds
½ Cup sunflower seeds
Hand full raisins
Hand full pitted dates
2-4 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp peanut butter
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
2 Tbsp coconut oil
Pea size amount of vanilla pod
Desiccated coconut for coating
Grind nuts, seeds, raisins and dates in blender one at a time, add all ingredients together in a bowl and mix. Place the bowl in the fridge for approximately 1-2 hrs. This makes the mixture easier to roll in the desiccated coconut.
