In this issue of FDN Life Magazine, we’ll be making Vegan Christmas Energy Balls. This recipe is super simple and will enable you to always have a healthy snack on hand during your travels or to serve to family and friends. Have fun!
QUANTITY: 10 Energy Balls
INGREDIENTS
– 6 dates
– 1 shredded carrot
– 1/3 cup of shredded coconut
– 1 cup of oats
– 1/4 cup of pecans
SPICES
– 2 tsp of cinnamon
– 1 tsp of fresh ginger or powder if you don’t have fresh
– 1/2 tsp nutmeg
– A pinch of sea salt�
METHOD
1) In a food processor, pulse the dates until a dough. (If you don’t have a food processor, just chop them finely).�
2) Roughly chop the pecans.
3) Put all the ingredients in the food processor and mix for 20-30sec – no more. (If you don’t have a food processor, just mix everything with your hands in a big mixing bowl).
4) Form balls with your hands.
5) Keep your energy balls in the refrigerator. They last up to two weeks. (But I guarantee you they will disappear before that!).

Happy Christmas snacking!
