Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 package freeze-dried mango (about 20-25g)
- 1 cup raw cashews (about 135g)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling, about 40g)
- 1 cup medjool dates, pitted (about 150g, approximately 10–12 dates)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon water or maple syrup
Instructions
- Process Mango: Add the freeze-dried mango to a food processor and grind until it forms a fine powder. This ensures the mango blends smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the raw cashews, shredded coconut (reserve some for rolling, if desired), medjool dates, and turmeric powder to the food processor with the mango powder. Blend until the mixture is fully combined and begins to form a dough.
- Adjust Dough Consistency: If the mixture is too dry or crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of water or maple syrup and continue blending until a cohesive dough ball forms.
- Form Balls: Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands. For extra texture and flavor, roll the balls in additional shredded coconut.
- Store: Place the energy balls in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them fresh and maintain their shape.
Notes
- Use medjool dates for natural sweetness and easier blending; ensure dates are pitted.
- Feel free to substitute water with maple syrup or honey for added sweetness and moisture.
- These energy balls can be frozen for up to 3 months for longer storage.
- Rolling in shredded coconut is optional but adds a nice texture and appearance.
- Turmeric is optional but adds an anti-inflammatory benefit and subtle warm flavor.
