This is a healthy version of the Energy Bites I made last week, and I love them just as much! I found this recipe on the same site as I found the recipe for the Greek Quinoa Salad Stuffed Baked Potatoes, and it is also an anti-inflammatory recipe. What I love about having these in the fridge is that when I go for a snack, they are both quick and really good for me. In terms of what they do for your body, they are a step up from the Energy Bites because the only sugar comes from the dates, and the rest of the recipe is all natural. This recipe is also slightly different because everything is thrown into the food processor. With Energy Bites, the stickiness of the maple syrup holds everything together in a ball. In these Lemon Turmeric Energy Balls, the ground up dates create a consistency that can be molded into a ball.
Ingredients ~
1 cup uncooked rolled oats
1 cup raw almonds
8 large pitted dates
3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp lemon zest
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp black pepper
Ingredients ~
Add all ingredients to a food processor, and process until the mixture becomes a ball and is fully blended.
Divide the mixture evenly into 15 portions – using a meatball scoop is handy for this. Roll into balls using your hands.
Place into the fridge to become more firm and solidify. Then, store in the fridge in an air-tight container all together or individually portioned for each day.
