Instructions
-
Prepare the Nuts: Begin by adding all the nuts—almonds and pistachios—into a food processor. Blitz them until they achieve a coarse powder consistency. This forms the nut base of your energy balls.
-
-
Process the Fruits: Remove the powdered nuts from the processor and set them aside. Next, add the dates and dried apricots to the food processor, blitzing them until they transform into a coarse paste. This will provide natural sweetness and moisture to your mixture.
-
Combine All Ingredients: Return the powdered nuts to the processor and add the flax seed powder, ragi flour, peanut butter, spirulina, and sunflower oil. Blitz all these ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined into a cohesive mixture.
-
Shape the Balls: Once combined, take the mixture out of the processor and begin shaping it into small to medium-sized balls. This is where you can get creative with the size, depending on your preference!
-
Chill and Serve: After shaping, refrigerate the energy balls for a while to help them firm up. These Spirulina Protein Energy Balls can be enjoyed as a quick snack on their own, or serve them alongside a healthy breakfast parfait of oats, mango, and yogurt for a satisfying and wholesome meal.
Enjoy your Spirulina Protein Energy Balls with Ragi as a delightful and nutritious addition to your daily diet, offering a perfect blend of flavors and health benefits that will keep you energized throughout your day!
