There are so many recipes for (vegan and gluten-free) energy balls out there. But I still have to share my favourite recipe with you! 
Because they are such an incredibly easy and quick solution to whip up some delicious, filling, healthier, vegan and gluten-free snack.
And please view this recipe just a base for so many variations.
There are so many options. I’ll list a few inspirations below:
- Replace cocoa / cacao powder with a teaspoon of cinnamon (while using less water).
- Use other dried fruit instead of dates (apricots, apples, plums, you name it)
- Roll them in chopped pistachios for a cute green tinge, or use freeze dried fruit powder.
- For a nut-free option use sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds, but make sure to still soak them overnight.
