Kakadu Plum and Ginger Energy Balls

Nourish Every Day/ Monique

25 Energy Balls

Ingredients

• 1 packed cup medjool dates –  about 11-12 dates
• 1 and 1/2 cups cashews (raw, unsalted) – soaked overnight and drained
• 1/2 cup quinoa flakes (can substitute gluten-free rolled oats)
• 2 tbsp cacao powder
• 5 tsp Kakadu plum powder from The Australian Superfood Co.
• 2–3 tsp ground ginger – adjust according to taste
• 3/4 cup desiccated coconut OR 1/2 cup sesame seeds, OR a mix, for coating the balls

Instructions

• Remove the pits from the medjool dates and place in a food processor along with the cashews. Process so the dates and cashews break up a little, into a rough sticky crumb.
• Add the quinoa flakes, cacao powder, ginger and Kakadu plum powder. Continue to process until the mixture forms a sticky dough. It will probably start to come together as one big ball in the food processor.
• Scoop out heaped teaspoons of the mixture and roll into a ball. Roll in coconut or sesame seeds to coat. Repeat with remaining mixture.
• Pop the energy balls in the fridge, where they will firm up a bit. Keep them stored in the fridge where they should last for a few weeks. They can also be frozen if you want to keep them for longer.
