Vanilla Coconut Energy Balls

Yields25 Servings
Ingredients
 1 generous cup almonds
 15 soft dates (the cooking ones, not the medjool dates)
 4 tsp vanilla bean paste
 2 scoops of collagen powder (for where to buy this check out my note below. Optional, if not add more ground flaxseed)
 3 tbsp desiccated coconut
 5 tbsp soft peanut butter (or other nut butter if you prefer)
 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
 2 tbsp hemp seeds
 6-7 tbsp coconut milk (almond or other nut milk will do fine here)
 3 scoops green powder (optional)
 ¼ tsp cinnamon powder
For the toppings
 Desiccated coconut, chia seeds, sesame seeds, bee pollen, what ever you fancy which is fairly fine will work great here.
1

Firstly chop up the almonds in your blender until they are fairly fine. Then add in all the other ingredients and pulse until the mixture starts to come together to form a thick dough.

2

Scrape the mixture into a bowl and pop it in the fridge for up to 20 minutes so that it starts to firm up.

3

When the dough is firm enough to handle start rolling into balls. If you want to coat them then roll them into the topping you fancy then put them on a plate and leave in the fridge to firm up again. Then they are ready to eat !

4

I put half into a tin and leave them in the freezer for another time as they freeze very well and are a great snack to have handy instead of heading to the biscuit tin. They also make a fabulous energy boost for teenagers who are studying as they are packed full of protein, fats and fibre. If you are having them from frozen, just remember to defrost them for a bit before eating or your teeth will not thank you later.

NOTE:  This is where I buy my Collagen powder.
