Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Blue Majik powder (blue spirulina)
- Pinch of sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons water (to adjust consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, chia seeds, Blue Majik powder, and a pinch of sea salt to create the dry mixture.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond butter, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until fully incorporated. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time if the mixture feels too dry, aiming for a thick, sticky consistency suitable for rolling.
- Form the Energy Balls: Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- Chill: Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow the flavors to meld together, ensuring they hold their shape well.
- Serve: Enjoy these Blue Majik Energy Balls as a healthy snack or a pre-workout boost. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter with any other nut or seed butter of your choice based on preference or dietary needs.
- Adjust the sweetness with honey or maple syrup according to taste or dietary restrictions.
- If the mixture is too crumbly, add water gradually until the right consistency is reached for easy rolling.
- Store energy balls in the fridge to keep them fresh and firm; they can also be frozen for longer storage.
