Energy Balls

EMILIA’S TAKE

Healthy eating doesn’t mean you have to give up on treats altogether. The best thing you can do is to make some yourself, with well-sourced ingredients. Then you know exactly what you’re enjoying!

When you’re shopping for nut butter, look for the unsalted varieties, and avoid palm oil where you can. Keep an eye out for local honey too, it’s better than the other stuff for a number of reasons.

If you like, you can use an ice cube tray instead of forming ball shapes with your hands, and either way, you can hide nuts or goji berries inside for a little something extra. This recipe allows for endless experiments, and big batches if you love the results. They keep for seven days in the fridge but can be frozen too.

Whole almond or macadamia nuts (soaked and dried)
