Recipe: Peanut Butter and Coconut Energy Balls

We’re all fancying something a bit decadent at the moment but that doesn’t have to be followed by feelings of guilt.  The recipe below makes approximately 9 balls and each serving contains 125kcal, 9g fat, 13g carbs and 3g protein.

What you’ll need:

• 1 cup (130g) pitted dates
• 3/4 cup (40g) ground almonds
• 1/2 cup (40g) desiccated coconut
• 2 tbsp. chia seeds
• 1 tbsp. coconut oil
• 1 tbsp. peanut butter

Place all ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender and blitz into a paste.

Form walnut-sized balls by pressing the paste together with your hands. Place in the fridge for a few hours so that they become more solid.
