Reminder: these are not a ‘meal replacements’. There are snacks to replace artificially sweet chocolate bars and candy. They contain all natural ingredients and use natural sugar such as honey or dried fruit which contains a natural sweetness. You can switch and swap these dried fruits for ones you refer and equally you can do the same with the spices.
Enjoy playing around, getting literally ‘stuck in’ and sticky and ultimately, I hope you delight in eating these delicious morsels when that energy drop happens.

- Flaxseed
- Desiccated coconut
- Dates
- Spices: ginger and tumeric (a great combo!).

Prepare the ingredients by tearing up the dates into pieces - these are the glue to the power ball. Don’t be worried about getting your hands dirty! That’s all part of the unique experience.
You don’t need to weigh out the ingredients as it’s roughly 1:1 ratio and you can adapt this to your individual tastes and whims, or what you want from your personalized power ball. It’s worth having these ready and to hand, before you start to get all sticky, as well as this prepare your coatings on a dish or plate. Mix the coating spices together ready for the end. Also have your washed and sterilized glass containers prepared to drop in your delights into once they are done.
To make your power balls, find a large metal or glass container. We aim to reduced the environment Impact by limiting our use of water waste and materials that are not going to be used. As a result, we will be using our hands and recyclable materials only during the making of these power balls.
In the container put your base - in this instance it is almond butter. Roughly a hand full. To this add the spices, we have chosen a winning combination of ginger and turmeric, both provide health benefits to women in particular but everyone can enjoy the purifying and balancing nature of these two spices. Mix in as much as you like with your hands or a wooden spoon (bear in mind you can always add more later on). Add a hand full of flaxseed and equally of desiccated coconut. We love the chewy, tasty texture coconut adds to these power balls matched against the small bite of the flaxseed. Mix well. Next add the dates. Start with one handful but as you’re mixing, if you feel that you need more to glue the mixture together and as appropriate.

Taste it. Is there enough of what you like? This is the time to adjust the spices suitable to your palate. When you are happy with the magical mix, begin to create your balls. Pinch some into the palm of your hand and roll. If everything is mixed well and you’ve got enough dates you should the mixture holds well together. Place these on a board the side ready to roll in our coating. Once they really all rolled out, roll them in the coating and pop in the prepared jar. You might want to mix it up? Or you just love that chilli cacao mix? Once they are all rolled and coated and stored in the jar, put any leftovers in a spare jar - you can use these next time. There’s no such thing as waste with power balls!
And then all that’s left to do is rinse your hands, the metal container, dish and wooden utensil - oh so simple.
