Amazeballs

Lately, I have seen a ton of posts on other blogs for no-bake energy bites and energy balls. I'm sure they're all quite yummy, but I'm kinda stuck on my Amazeballs. 

They may be small, but they are big on flavour and fibre. They're the perfect little pre-class (or post-meeting) pick-me-up, and they go together in minutes. 

The link below the picture will take you to my recipe site, where you can learn how to make your own. Enjoy! Be amazing!

Click here for the Amazeballs tutorial.

Amazeballs!

1 cup honey dates, pitted (don't bother splurging on Medjool dates)

2 tbsp coarsely ground almonds (start with almost 1/4 cup whole and grind in food processor)

2 tbsp quick or regular oats

2 tbsp hemp hearts (shelled hemp seed)

pinch of coarse salt

1/4 cup All-Bran Buds (or other high-fibre bran cereal)

In the bowl of a food processor, chop dates. Process until they clump together and form a ball.

Add almonds, oats, hemp hearts and salt. Pulse until well-combined. (A spoonful of mixture will hold together when squeezed lightly.) If mixture is too sticky, add more oats, 1/2 tbsp at a time. Add bran cereal and pulse until just combined.

Transfer mixture to a small bowl. Working with one lightly-packed tablespoon at a time, squeeze and roll mixture into smooth, uniform balls. (With impeccably clean hands.) 

Place finished balls on a parchment lined plate and chill until firm. Store in a covered container or zip-top bags. Makes 12.

Note: you can make these gluten-free! Use certified gluten-free oats and substitute your favourite gluten-free cereal (crispy rice or similar).

And, it should be noted that I posted this recipe almost THREE years ago. Ahead of my time much?

Number one, like yourself. Number two, you have to eat healthy. And number three, you've got to squeeze your buns. That's my formula. ~ Richard Simmons
