You can flavour these Sweet Weetabix Energy energy balls in any way you want. I like the pink and white effect of coconut and freeze-dried strawberries as toppings, and they make a perfect gift for someone even if it’s not valentine’s day.
However, if you have an allergy to coconut or are avoiding it for health reasons then use only freeze-dried raspberries or strawberries. Freeze dried berries are usually found in the baking section of most supermarkets. These will keep for a week (that’s if everyone doesn’t eat them first!) in an airtight container on your kitchen worktop. These make approximately 21 energy balls depending on how big you roll them. If you are nut-free you can use sunflower seed butter instead of nut butter.
Ingredients
6 Weetabix biscuits, crushed.
1 cup dates soaked and pitted.
1/2 cup almond butter or any other nut butter
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup shredded coconut and ¼ cup freeze dried berries (for coating)
Method
In a food processor, combine Weetabix, dates, almond butter, chia seeds, and vanilla extract until a sticky dough forms.
Roll mixture into bite-sized balls.
Roll each ball in shredded coconut or freeze-dried berries.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
