If you’ve been in search of a delectable snack or guilt-free chocolatey indulgence, you clicked on the right recipe. Enjoy these raw vegan date balls as an after dinner treat, mid-afternoon snack, or pre-workout snack for satiety and energy. Dates provide the sweetness, but the bitterness from 100% raw cacao powder balances those natural sugars. The raw walnuts act as a binder, but also provide nuttiness that complements the other ingredients.

When it comes to choosing the dates for these energy balls, Medjool dates are excellent. Not only do they have a soft texture that makes them easy to blend, but they also have a rich, caramel-like flavor. Deglet Noor dates are often smaller and have a firmer texture. That means that they may not blend as easily, and your energy balls may have an unpleasant texture. As mentioned previously, walnuts provide an earthiness and nuttiness, plus a lot of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids. If you do not like walnuts, you sub them out for raw almonds, cashews, or pecans. The flavor will not differ too much if you choose one of those other nuts.

After blending the ingredients in a food processor, you’ll need to form them into balls and freeze them so that they can harden. Once you remove the chilled date balls from the freezer, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. If you only want to enjoy them from time to time, store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, remove them from the freezer and allow them to warm up at room temperature for 10 minutes before enjoying.

If you love pecan pie and snacks then you clicked on the right recipe. These energy balls are both filling and filled with incredibly healthy ingredients, four simple ingredients to be exact. Just reach into your pantry and retrieve pecans, sea salt, alcohol-free vanilla extract, and Medjool dates. 

While we encourage people to use Medjool dates, you can use whichever date variety you can get your hands on. Just make sure that the dates are moist and pitted prior to adding them to the food processor. If you cannot find moist dates, you can soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to blending. Make sure to use raw pecans with no added oil or salt, as you will add sea salt to this recipe. It complements the sweetness of the dates and enhances the nuttiness of the pecans. 

Once you blend all of the ingredients together in the food processor and you achieve a dough-like consistency, it’s time to make the energy bites. To avoid the mixture sticking to your hands, wet your hands with water prior to forming tablespoon-sized balls. You should also line a container or baking sheet with parchment paper, so that the pecan energy bites don’t stick. Place in the freezer for about one to two hours and then you are ready to enjoy them! Let us know how you like this recipe in the comments below.

The great thing about energy bites is that you can eat two and be completely full. Rich in fiber, healthy fats, protein, and other nutrients, energy bites help to sustain you between meals. Walnuts are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, making them great for brain health. The only thing to keep in mind in regards to energy bites is that they are high in calories. You don’t want to eat 12 bites in one sitting because that may amount to 4,000 calories. If you are on a mission to lose weight, that shoots you in the foot. Two energy bites is the perfect portion to fill you up.

This recipe contains desiccated coconut, which is not the same as shredded coconut that you typically find in the baking aisle of a grocery store. Shredded coconut in the bag contains added sugars and a lot of processed ingredients. The best coconut to use is desiccated coconut, which is dehydrated coconut meat. You can add that directly to the food processor without chopping it up. If you want to elevate your presentation and be a little fancy, you can finely dice the desiccated coconut and roll the energy balls in them before consumption.

In order to be successful at that, you’ll have to refrigerate or freeze them for a little so that they can firm up. Once they are firm, you can roll them in a plate of diced desiccated coconut. Return them to the freezer or fridge and let them be until they are firm. We hope you like them!

The fragrant raw cacao powder is tamed by the inherent sweetness of the dates, making these taste like a subtly bitter piece of dark chocolate. Add the subtle saltiness of the almonds and pistachios and it is a match made in sweet and salty heaven. Snack on them between meals to keep cravings at bay.

Believe it or not, you can purchase raw pistachios that are unshelled. Roughly 90% of that fat in pistachios is unsaturated, making them excellent for cardiovascular health. Pistachios are rich in thiamine, vitamin B6, potassium, manganese, copper, fiber, protein, and a variety of antioxidants. Needless to say…these energy bites are little nutrient powerhouses!
