These energy balls are no-bake, vegan, gluten-free, and made with 7 healthy ingredients! They are sweet, and chewy, and taste delicious. This quick and easy recipe is made in just 15 minutes. Enjoy these energy balls for a midday snack, post-workout fuel, or as a healthy dessert! I got inspired by Steph Davis’s recipe, from her blog and made my own freestyle version.
I love these, I take them ski touring or even riding because they’re a perfect pocket snack, full of healthy calories.
- Mixed nuts
- Medjool dates
- Peanut butter
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla extract
- Vegan milk
- Salt
- Figs
- Protein powder
- Mini chocolate chips
Ingredients:
– 2 cups total nuts (I like to mix peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, walnuts, cashews, almonds and/or pecans: note that the first four have the highest protein content)
– 6 dates (preferably Medjool, remove pit and cut into a few pieces)
– 6 figs (preferably Calimyrna, cut into a few pieces)
– 1/3 cup unsweetened soymilk
- pinch of cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup assorted protein powder (I like the Kion vanilla powder)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter
Blend the nuts in a food processor until they are well crumbled (you can either go all the way to powder or leave them a little chunky). Put the nuts in a mixing bowl. Put the dates, figs, vanilla, salt and soymilk in the food processor: I always drape a towel around the mixing bowl at the start in case any of the liquid flies out. Blend well, then scrape into the bowl of nuts and stir by hand with a wooden spoon. Roll small balls with your hands and put into another container. I store the balls in the fridge until I need to take them out with me.
