Date Energy Ball Ingredients

Along with the need for a food processor that can handle dates and nuts, you will also need the following ingredients:

  • Medjool dates – you can use dried dates, however you will need to soak them slightly before.
  • Nuts – we like to use almonds here.
  • Coconut – shredded or desiccated coconut is best, however flakes can also be used.
  • Sunflower seeds – a great source of many vitamins and minerals. You could substitute other seeds of the same quantity.
  • Coconut oil – a small teaspoon helps with moisture (due to the almonds) and to bind the ingredients.
