Ginger, Almond and Cashew

I'm always trying to find new recipes that taste good, don't contain anything too ultra processed and aren't ridiculously faffy. I pick good ingredients when I can and also go organic when I can afford to, I really notice the difference in some products.

Energy balls are brilliant, as you can put a lot of different ingredients into a small mouthful.

These energy balls can be made in bulk and also last really well, although they never stay around for long. I normally play around with flavours and ingredients. With energy balls, I have found that it is all about the texture and consistency. Getting it just right to hold together.

Measurements are rough and I invite you to play with the amounts to find a consistency that works.

I need to upgrade my Nutribullet one day but it manages to mush things enough for me. Enjoy!

Ginger, almond and cashew

1 cup of oats

1/2 cup of cashews

1 tsp ginger

2 tbsp chia

2 tbsp flax

2 tbsp almond butter (the runnier the better)

If you like thinks sweeter add maple or honey

Method

Blitz all the dry ingredients together to form a powdered mix

Transfer to a bowl and then mix in the wet ingredients

(if too dry when you try to form balls in your hands then add more honey,maple or a dash of warm water)

Roll into balls using your palms to the size of your liking. I usually make around 8-10.

You'll probably want to eat one now to check they're ok. Then keep some for later, take them on a hike and share with your friends.
