To Make Choc Mint Energy Balls

To make these energy balls, you will need a food processor of some kind - one that can pulse nuts and dates together well. As for the ingredients, you will need:

  • Cashews
  • Dates
  • Coconut (desiccated/shredded works best)
  • Cocoa - cacao powder will work well too.
  • Chia Seeds - can be substituted with the same quantity of other seeds if you wish.
  • Peppermint essence or oil - this is to personal taste, but if your using a high quality food-grade peppermint oil, you will only need to use about 3 drops.
  • Salt to taste - optional.
