Easy Vegan Energy Ball Assortment Recipe

VEGAN ENERGY BALL ASSORTMENT 🌱

Matcha + Coconut and Peanut Butter Balls (raw + choc covered) 

These variety of energy balls are perfect for that high protein on the go snack! There’s no baking required for these either making them the easiest (and most delicious) sweet treat or quick dessert to whip up 👏🏼

Most of the ingredients are ones you’ll already have in the kitchen cupboard + are vegan, oil-free and are made with natural superfoods! 🌱

I made roughly 10 of the matcha and 15 peanut butter since they can be stored in fridge or freezer for 2 weeks (and I have 3 hungry housemates). For the peanut butter balls, I covered half of them in dairy free chocolate to give them something extra - both versions tasted amazing!

Matcha Energy Balls (makes 12)

Ingredients:

Method:

  1. In a blender, add oats and cashews and blend for 1 minute until they’re in fine pieces.
  2. Add the hemp seeds, matcha, dates and almond milk - blend for a further 2 minutes until well combined.
  3. Refrigerate the mixture for 10 minutes to make it easier to roll
  4. Roll into even balls using your hands, add toppings and place in freezer for 10 minutes.
  5. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in fridge + longer term in freezer (can be enjoyed straight from the freezer)



Peanut Butter Balls

Ingredients:

Method:

  1. Soak dates in water for 5-10 mins then drain and blend in food processor
  2. Add the remainder of your ingredients (oats, peanut butter, seeds, chocolate chips, milk) until roughly blended
  3. Using your hands, roll the mixture into evenly sized balls + place in freezer for 15 minutes to set
  4. If opting to cover some in chocolate, melt 150g of vegan friendly dark chocolate and cover the balls in them - placing back in freezer to reset
  5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and freezer for longer term storage (they don’t freeze solid so can be enjoyed straight from freezer)

Frequently asked questions about becoming Vegan

Q: Are vegan recipes healthy?
A: Absolutely! Vegan recipes are centered around plant-based ingredients, which are packed with essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. By following a balanced vegan diet, you can enjoy a wide variety of delicious and nutritious meals.

Q: Can I get enough protein on a vegan diet?
A: Yes, you can! Contrary to popular belief, there are plenty of plant-based sources of protein, such as beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, seitan, quinoa, and more. Incorporating a variety of these protein-rich foods into your vegan recipes will help you meet your protein needs.

Q: What about calcium and iron?
A: Vegan diets can provide ample amounts of calcium and iron. Foods like leafy greens, almonds, tahini, fortified plant-based milk, tofu, and lentils are great sources of these essential minerals. Pairing iron-rich foods with vitamin C sources, like citrus fruits or bell peppers, can enhance iron absorption.

Q: Are vegan recipes expensive?
A: Not necessarily! While some specialty vegan products may be pricier, a well-planned vegan diet can be quite affordable. Staples like grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables are often budget-friendly, especially when purchased in season or in bulk.

Q: How can I replace dairy products in vegan recipes?
A: There are numerous plant-based alternatives available for dairy products. For milk, you can use soy milk, almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. Replace butter with plant-based margarine or coconut oil, and try using cashews or silken tofu for creamy textures in recipes.

Q: Can I still enjoy desserts on a vegan diet?
A: Absolutely! Vegan desserts can be just as indulgent and delicious as traditional ones. You can use substitutes like coconut milk, almond milk, or cashew cream in place of dairy cream, and flax eggs or aquafaba as egg replacers. Get creative with ingredients like dates, bananas, cocoa, and nuts to whip up scrumptious vegan treats.
