Rare sight because not already eaten :) Your vegan raw energy bliss balls at its best!
Rare sight because not already eaten 🙂 Your vegan raw energy bliss balls at its best!

In my last recipe I have exuberantly claimed that there is an extreme potential to addictiveness. And I’m afraid I have to put this claim back here. Dani, a dear friend of mine, when tasting said: “Okay, you could definitely kill for that!” Now, that’s a statement! 😉

Seriously, actually I can not fabricate these little things, because they definitely will not survive the day. After all, they are super healthy, (theoretically 😉 ) freezable, keep fresh in the fridge for a few days and are a good, healthy, raw snack with no added sugars. You can also enjoy them to-go and bring them to parties, etc. Conclusion: Natural raw food that provides you with energy and fiber optimally for hours. Anyway, I’m sure you’ll love them! I do! 🙂

The right dates are half the battle

Medjool dates are particularly good as they are very soft. If the dates are too hard, soak them briefly with a sip of oat milk. Then they are much easier to mash. Dates endow the energy balls with their power, contain important fibre and keep your blood sugar levels constant for a long time, in order to avoid hunger cravings.

Alternatively, you can also roll them in cinnamon, puffed amaranth or grated coconut. The blueberries and turmeric give the whole thing an additional superfood character. The antioxidants contained greet and protect you from cell ageing. Aren’t that enough arguments for a true reward? Ever tried “Hot Chocolate Popsicles”? 🙂
