Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 package freeze dried mango
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (plus more for rolling if desired)
- 1 cup medjool dates, pits removed (about 10 – 12)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon water (or maple syrup)
Instructions
- Powder the Mango: Add the freeze dried mango to a food processor and grind until it forms a fine powder, which will add a concentrated mango flavor to your energy balls.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the raw cashews, shredded coconut, medjool dates (pits removed), and turmeric powder to the processor with the mango powder. Blend until all ingredients are well combined and start to form a dough-like mixture.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too crumbly and not sticking together, add 1 tablespoon of water or maple syrup and blend again until the mixture forms a cohesive ball-shaped dough.
- Form Balls: Scoop small portions of the dough and roll them into bite-sized balls. Optionally, roll the balls in additional shredded coconut to add texture and visual appeal.
- Store: Place the energy balls in an airtight container and store them in the fridge or freezer to maintain freshness and firmness.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup for water if you prefer a slightly sweeter and stickier texture.
- Keep the energy balls refrigerated or frozen for best texture and shelf life.
- These balls are naturally gluten-free and vegan-friendly.
- Adjust the turmeric quantity to taste, as it adds an earthy flavor and anti-inflammatory benefits.
- If you don’t have a food processor, a high-powered blender can be used, although the texture may be less even.
