Hey guys,
Today I have three really easy healthy and plant based snack ideas for you guys. These are some of my favorites and go-to’s when I want something wholesome to snack on. So let me just show you guys what I make:
Energy Protein Balls
This one is sooo easy! Only 2 ingredients and done in under 10min.
Ingredients
- 250g dried pitted dates
- 250g ground almonds
- splash of water
- coating of your choice: Matcha, Cocoa powder, coconut flakes ect.
Instructions
- Mince the dates into small bits. If you have a food processor, this will make your life so much easier. Then add the dates and the ground almonds into a bowl and massage to combine. If it feels too dry and not formable, add a splash of water.
- Roll the mixture into golf ball sized balls and set aside. If you like, coat them with the desired coating. Store in the fridge for up to a week.

- Grease a baking tin and add the mixture to the tin. Sprinkle the walnuts on top and bake in the oven for 20min or until a skewer comes out clean.
Chocolate Nut Clusters
Ingredients
