Make a batch of these and keep them in the fridge for a week! Mine don’t last that long because I also have a pesky sister who steals about half my batch (love ya sis!). If your days are constantly busy and on-the-go, you’ll breathe a sigh of relief knowing these babies are in the fridge waiting for you. Also, a huge bonus is they’re also loved by children… my 2 year old can devour a few in one go if I’d let him!

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups oats, (quick oats)
  • 1 cup shredded coconut, (unsweetend)
  • 1/2 cup raw almonds
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon honey, (2 tablespoons if you like it sweeter)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons chia or hemp seeds, (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, process the oats, shredded coconut, and raw almonds until mixture is fine.
  • Add in the almond butter, honey, and a few tablespoons of water, then pulse to combine. 
  • Add in the chocolate chips and a few more tbsp of water as required until the mixture starts to form a dough, by binding together very well.
  • Form the mixture into balls (it should be easy to do this, and if not add a bit more water and process to make the mixture more “sticky”).
  • Store energy balls in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 week and enjoy throughout the week.
