Raw Vegan Energy Balls Three Ways
Energy Balls come in different colours and flavours, they look amazing and are some of the easiest and quickest sweet treats you can prepare at home. The raw vegan varieties I am going to share with you make the perfect snack for munchies in between meals, they are delicious and healthy and you can store them in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. All you need is a food processor or high speed blender, a few organic ingredients and 2 loving hands.
I cannot say which of these varieties is my favorite as all 3 are unique and special in their own way:
Minty-Chocolate, Ginger-Lemon Pistachio and Red Beetroot Vanilla! 🙂
Enjoy!

Instructions

- Add the medjool dates one by one while mixing. When everything is mixed well together and you have a sticky paste add the rest of the ingredients, using your hands now to mix all in. Shape your energy balls and coat them in the remaining cacao powder by gently dipping them in the powder until the whole ball is nicely covered with a thin layer.
