No Bake Energy Balls Ingredients

The best part about energy balls is that the ingredients are super simple, yet healthy.

Medjool Dates – The base of many energy ball recipes is dates. Dates are a great way health food to use when you want something to be sticky. Plus, they’re a decent source of fiber and contain loads of nutrients. Make sure you “pit” your dates before adding to the food processor (pitting means removing the seeds).
Unsweetened Dried Mango – To add that tropical flavor to these summer energy balls, I’m adding in both dried mango and pineapple. Make sure you get unsweetened dried mango to avoid added sugars.
Unsweetened Dried Pineapple – Same with the dried pineapple… make sure you get unsweetened. If you’re allergic to pineapple, just add in extra dried mango.
Raw Cashews – To add in so healthy fats and give these balls more texture, I’m using raw cashews. I love using cashews because they have a very mild flavor and don’t overpower the flavors from the mango and pineapple, which are the “stars” of this energy ball recipe.
Ground Flax Seeds – These aren’t required but I like sneaking in ground flax seeds, when possible, to boost the nutritional content. Not only will the ground flax seeds increase the fiber content, but they’ll also provide more protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
Sea Salt – I always like to add a pinch of high quality sea salt to compliment and balance the sweetness. Not required.
Unsweetened Shredded Coconut – Another optional addition is to coat your energy balls with shredded coconut. This gives them another layer of texture and flavor. Make sure you get unsweetened to avoid added sugars.

How To Make These Energy Balls

These no bake energy balls are very easy to make and only require that you have a food processor.

Process Ingredients. Add ingredients to a food processor using the ‘S’ blade and blend for 3-5 minutes until everything comes together into one big sticky chunck.
Roll into balls. Scoop out about 1 Tbsp worth of the mixture, roll into a tight ball, and place onto a lined baking sheet or plate.
Refrigerate. Place energy balls in the fridge for about one hour to firm up.
Storage. Keep these energy balls stored in the fridge for up to 10 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
