Pistachio Energy Balls

Soooo frickin delish ... I couldn't stop reaching for these all week!

Gluten Free & Dairy Free. Includes Nuts. Minimal Ingredients

I’m a big fan of meal prepping energy balls as a way to save yourself time during the week when you need a quick pick me up snack in between meals!

It is recommended that women have between 25 to 30 grams of fiber a day and if you also have a hard time eating enough fiber, this recipe is GREAT because each ball had 4g fiber.

The recipe outline and ingredient list is below!

Pistachio Energy Balls

(full recipe and grocery list below)

Ingredients

• Pitted dates (I use Joolies)

• Salted pistachios

• Shredded coconut

• Chia seeds

• Ground flaxseeds

• Gluten free quick cooking oats

• Pistachio butter or any other nut butter (sunflower, almond, or peanut butter)

• Pistachio milk or other nut milk

Instructions:

1. Add the following ingredients to the food processor:

• 1 cup pitted dates (~12 dates)

• 1/3 cup shredded coconut

• 1/4 cup pistachios

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• 2 tbsp flax seeds

• 1/2 cup oats

• 1.5 tbsp pistachio butter

2. Once combined, I added a little bit of nut milk (I used pistachio) to the energy ball mix to give it the right consistency and make it easier to form balls without it flaking it and falling apart. Be conservative and add a little dash at a time before grabbing mix to roll.

3. You can also add more nut butter or even some honey if the balls aren’t getting to the right consistency.

4. Makes 8 balls! 144 cal per ball, 4g fiber and 3g protein per ball

5. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes and enjoy!!

Keep the energy balls stored in refrigerator! I hope that you make this and enjoy this fiber-packed snack :) I had it in my fridge for 5 days and I enjoyed these balls as a quick pick me up snack in between my meals.

With love,
