DIRECTIONS:
METHOD #1 - Dates Method using Food Processor:
► STEP 1: Chop nuts into tiny pieces in food processor
► STEP 2: Add other ingredients, blend for 45-60 secs until mixture turns into a crumbly texture. Do not overblend!
► STEP 3: Roll into small, 1-inch balls.
► STEP 4: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then enjoy
METHOD #2 - No Equipment Method:
► STEP 1: Add ingredients into mixing bowl, making sure nuts are pre-chopped into tiny pieces
► STEP 2: Mix ingredients
► STEP 3: Roll into small, 1-inch balls.
► STEP 4: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then enjoy
TIPS:
► TIP 1: If balls are too dry & crumbly, add 1 tsp of water, honey or nut butter
► TIP 2: If balls are wet and loose, add some oats, ground flaxseed or other dry ingredients
► TIP 3: Use a cookie scooper to portion out mixture into balls, then press/roll into hands

What's your favourite way to make Energy Balls? For more healthy breakfast recipes, check out this video on Blended Baked Oats: ua-cam.com/video/icDBDHuhS3U/v-deo.html
Hey guys, I know it says Energy balls, do u guys have a video about snacks for the night time??
my favorite protein shakes are ones that do not use medjool dates (they support israel)
^^
Ground beef
Same 😂
I’m sharing this with my daughter in the military. She always too tired or has little time to cook. I think these are good for her to take to work when she misses a meal
They're a great time saver for prepping in advance, that's for sure! I'm sure your daughter will love them - thanks for sharing this with her and thanks for watching!
Tell her to drink pea protein shakes smoothies in the morning. Was such a game changer for me 😊
Tell her thank you for her service.
Yum! Try adding shredded carrots and raisins to the base recipe for a carrot cake-like ball. Delish!
Ooh that's a great idea, thanks for sharing and for watching! I'll have to give that a try in my next batch!
Fantastically healthy idea thanks!!!!!
Yes great ideas I use a table spoon of apple sauce I use almond butter one table spoon flax oil nuts few drops of stevea leaf just use your imagination I don’t use dates they spike my sugars
GROSS
@@shayladahlberg1404TRY CASHEW BUTTER😋 SUPER YUMMY😋
Called ladoos in India. Mandatory snack given to kids and during festivals. Lots of love from India 😊
They seem to be similar in shape only.
I will make it easuer for all of you.
Instead of laborious and messy processof rolli g the balls..
Get silicone icecubes tray...
Rub COCONUT OIL INSIDE EACH OF THE CELLS...
Pack with the mixture...level.
Cool down or freeze.
When wanted..
Release "snack cubes" from the ice cube tray and..
Voila!😅
Thank you for adding the no equipment recipe.
Absolutely, I'm glad you enjoyed that version! Thanks for watching!
There's a trick to oats, if you toast them it makes them taste better.
Such a good idea! Thanks!
Thank you!!
Good idea! I made the base oats recipe before. It's OK, but I was feeling g like I was eating raw oats. Toasting them may help! (Just adds an extra step).
In india we make dry fruit balls known as ( laddoos ). We usually eat them during winter season. They don't have different flavors but ingredients can be changed as per needs. These laddoos can have upto 10 to 15 ingredients.
My father made me these laddoos of dry fruits last year, those were super delicious and were of same size as these in the video. I think size just differs according to preference.
I'd love to call these healthy, but I'd end up eating two dozen of them and completely ruin my macro count.
Haha same!
💯 this 😅
Same and I have before smh
I'm insulin resistant & my dietician suggested recipes like this for snacks. I asked how many I could consume a day... & She said 2, maybe 3 if I haven't had much else to eat that day!
If you add little more jaggery u will end up eating only 1 if it's too sweet 😅
Bumping onto your video has changed the way I eat desert & my life. I no longer buy supermarket cakes, pies, or muffins.
After watching this video, I purchased the Kitchenaid chopper "5 cup" & bought all the ingredients you used to make the balls.
My family loves them as much as I do. They're easy to make & very tasty. The bonus part is the no guilt you feel after eating them.
My family & I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕
That's amazing to hear! I'm so glad that you and your family are enjoying these as much as I do - the simple, natural ingredients in these energy balls definitely beat buying all those supermarket cakes, pies and muffins. Thanks for sharing and for giving them a try - I appreciate the kind words!
Yummy. This is good for us gluten free folks! Thank you!!!❤❤❤
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for these wonderful no-bake energy ball recipes!
These energy balls will be excellent to take on-the-go, or for any outdoor adventures.
Cheers!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipes - they're fantastic for packing with you when you're out-and-about, for sure! Thanks so much for watching!
I’m going to follow this channel and some of this to my arsenal.
Thanks in advance
Hmmm 😋 Die Energy Balls sehen alle köstlich aus 😍🤤 Danke fürs Teilen 🥰
I’m really digging the lemon and chocolate energy balls. I’ll definitely be making those. 🌺
Those are two of my favourites! 😀 Thanks for watching!
A comprehensive content that is fast & easy to watch and followed - thanks for sharing! My family enjoys these in the afternoon and pre & post work out for a boost of energy!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and found it easy to follow along - and thanks for trying the recipes! It's always so great to hear when others enjoy them with their families! 😀
Thank you for your sharing to making these healthy desserts, love very very much 😋
I'm glad you enjoyed them! Thanks for watching!
I will be making every one for of these tomorrow. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for watching - good luck and hope you enjoy making them!
I love when the description box never disappoints! Was just getting ready to look up some food processors
Haha I'm glad you found the info there helpful! I try to be as thorough as I can in writing it out each time 😀 Thanks so much for watching!
I roll them in hemp seed and get a little more protein!
Hemp seeds are a fantastic nutritious add-in and great for rolling the energy balls in! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for these awesome easy recipes.
Thank you so much for watching!
These look AMAZING!! Thank you so much!!
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
The oatmeal ones are the ones I’d use. They would be a great snack for my Sunday school class. Thank you for sharing. The date recipes do sound good. Just easier for me to use the oatmeal recipe.
Thanks so much for watching! I hope you enjoy giving them a try - they're great little snacks for sure, and the oat-based method is so quick and easy to make 😀
Yeah, i tried both. oatmeal+PB is a lot fatter and higher calories but its pretty much dump everything in a bowl and mix it then shape it into w.e. you want. Although, imho, its worth the effort to do the dates recipe, as i definitely enjoyed it more. And you only need to do it once a week or if you do bigger batch or bigger sized balls just freeze them, this is definitely something ill be making for a while unless i get bored, really great addition to my overnight oats in the morning.
@@ChoJun69 I’ll have to see what store carries dates . Probably Walmart & Meijer.
@@deniseview4253 use some other dried fruit similar to dates. ..👍
@deniseview4253 SUPERMARKETS & ALWAYS HEALTH FOOD STORES- THEY CARRY ORGANIC ONES.👍🏽

I recently made my first energy balls from dry rasins and cranberries mixed with some oats and nuts, there were really good, sweet and I didn't eat sweets for a week when I was snacking on them! I'll be using these recipes :)
Amazing! Raisins and cranberries with oats and nuts are a great mix for sure. Thanks for watching and for giving it a try!

everything in moderation...even these natural sugars...

Just made these today. The one with nut and date with a little coconut flakes. Wow! So good! I didn’t have a small blender but liked yours so much I ordered the same one from Amazon at a reasonable price. The dates were on sale at grocery store ( buy one package and get another free) and I did half walnuts and half pecan together and got to work, lol. Sooo easy and very tasty. Hardest part was waiting the hour they were in the fridge after rolling lol. Can’t wait to try the other options. Thanks so much for the great video!
Awesome! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe - and hope you enjoy giving the other flavours a try! Thanks for sharing and for watching!

Oh my goodness… I just tried the double chocolate ones and they’re insanely good. The cocoa flavor has so much depth with that salt and the vanilla. I ended up adding a 1/4 cup of ground flax to them too. I can’t wait to eat more! 😆
Amazing! I'm so glad you enjoyed them - and like you said, they're super easy to mix in nutritional boosts like ground flax without impacting the flavour 😀 Thanks so much for watching!
Great recipe
Thanks for watching!
Looks so much like Ladoos from India😋😋😋
I've been looking for this recipe since babyhood! Someone's mom made peanut-butter balls for us in 3rd-grade (we helped), but I could never recall the recipe. So THANK~YOU💝
Amazing! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and that you re-discovered it (along with a part of your childhood 😀) Thanks so much for sharing and for watching!

Awesome! It's always so interesting to hear how recipes are adapted in different cultures. I hope you enjoy giving these a try! Thanks for watching!
My stomach digests almonds about the same as gravel. If a recipe bothers your stomach try a softer nut like walnuts ur pecans. These look delicious!
Thanks for sharing that tip, and thanks for watching!
We have been making in India since centuries … and we call them ladoos !! Plus pre processing nuts is very important step which you have to learn .
Absolutely yummy
Thanks for watching!
