Chocolate & Raspberry Energy Bites

Those of you who have been readers here for some time will remember this recipe and as it was such a hit, I decided to share a new way to enjoy these delish snacks!

Raspberry and Chocolate Energy Bites

Recently I’ve been crazy CRAZYYYY busy with acting class two nights a week, a creative writing class once a week, some part-time admin work and my own admin (searching for acting jobs, submitting myself or having my agent submit me for castings and then going to those castings etc…) so on particularly busy days, I grab two of these in the morning and they tide me over when a snack-attack hits (which saves me from reaching for that tantalising choccie bar or a packet of crisps!)

Raspberry and Chocolate Energy Bites

INGREDIENTS

6 Dates

1 Handful of fresh raspberries

100g Oats

1 serving Protein Powder (I use this one)

Splash of Milk

1 tbsp Ground Almonds

1 tsp Maca Powder

1 tbsp Cocoa Powder

1 tsp Chai Seeds

2 tbsp Chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

Slice and pit the dates

Raspberry and Chocolate Energy Bites

Blitz the dates with your raspberries and splash of milk until you’ve a loose paste

Raspberry and Chocolate Energy Bites

put all your dry ingredients in a bowl and slowly mix in your raspberry and date paste until combined

Raspberry and Chocolate Energy Bites

Dust an airtight container with icing sugar and then one by one – once rolled – add the balls into it and place into the fridge for several hours

Kept in their container in the fridge, these will be good to eat for 10 days. The sharp raspberry flavour mixed in with the sweet chocolate is just divine – no they are not as healthy as this version BUT – we do need a bit of a treat sometimes and this is still a better option than that bag of crisps we were eyeing earlier…

      Completely! Making healthy choices doesn’t have to take hours of planning and I think these show that healthy can be quick-and-easy, perfectly!

      I hear you!! These have been so great for maintaining a healthy diet when things get crazy busy and I (perhaps!) take on a little too much!!
