Energy balls are the perfect on the go, hunger-satisfying snack. If you are on a weight training program, like I am, it is essential that you feed your body the proper nutrients it needs throughout the day. The husband and I love these Chocolate Almond Energy Balls as they satisfy our sweet tooth while feeding our body the protein it needs.
Traveling with food allergies or on a limited diet can be a real struggle. However, these chocolate goodies can be frozen and stored in your luggage for future snacking needs! They are gluten free, dairy free, egg free and vegan.
1Begin by adding all of your ingredients into a food processor.
2Blend for 2 minutes until almonds are finely chopped. Mixture will begin to look like dough.
3At this time, add up to one tablespoon of filtered water - start with a single teaspoon at a time. Pulse until dough is ready to roll.
4Roll into balls of your desired size. I prefer to use a tablespoon amount so each ball is a consistant size.
5If you wish, sprinkle energy balls with shredded coconut.
6Place balls in air-proof container and refrigerate.
If you are looking for a great food processor, I use the Hamilton Beach 10-Cup Food Processor. We received it as a wedding gift 5 years ago and I am so glad my co-worker was so thoughtful. I have included links to where I purchase my organic ingredients to help with your grocery shopping.
