PEANUT POWER BALLS
Evelyn has agreed to share her top secret Peanut Power energy ball recipe. This is one of Evelyn’s most popular energy balls and the recipe has been a closely guarded secret for a number of years. The balls featured at our last member meet-up event and many asked if we could share the recipe.
Evelyn often has a Peanut Power Ball pre-run or pre-morning workout to provide her with an energy boost without feeling too full. The peanut butter provides a good source of protein along with the chia seeds, whilst the oats enable her to keep going for longer.
Ingredients
200g dates
50g oats
50g peanut butter
15g chia seeds
25g raisins
1 tbsp cacao powder
Method
Simply pop in a blender and blitz for at least 2 minutes. You should be able to pinch the mixture between two fingers and for it to hold together.
Roll into approximately 10-12 balls. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Top tips: Top with melted dark chocolate and cacao nibs or freeze dried strawberry pieces (as in the photograph). If you freeze, simply take 1 ball out 30 minutes before you plan on consuming.
