Strawberry Energy Balls

These strawberry balls are easy to make and great and healthy snack. Made with only 5 simple ingredients. They are gluten-free, vegan and full of summer strawberry flavor!

Ingredients needed to make these Strawberry balls:

• Fresh strawberries, hulled. In this recipe I have used fresh strawberries but if they are not in season frozen strawberries works as well. Just let them defrost a little before you put them in the food processor. 
• Oats, I used old fashioned oats. Use certified gluten-free oats to make sure these cookies are gluten-free
• Dates without pips, preferably medjool dates, they have a soft and creamy consistency and a slight caramel flavour
• Chia seeds, they are high in fiber, antioxidants and protein and acts like a thicker in these energy balls and helps hold them together.
• Nut butter of your choice (I used almond butter) I prefer to use all natural, no sugar added, no oil added.
• Unsweetened shredded coconut, also called desiccated coconut, for rolling

Making these energy balls are easy:

Simply place all the ingredients in a food processor (except the coconut) and blend until well combined and the strawberries have broken down. 

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to thicken, then roll into bite sized balls and coat in coconut. Store them in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

I hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy it as much as I do!
