Coffee Almond Energy Balls
A no-bake, protein-packed snack that combines almonds, dates, and coffee for an energy boost without the junk. Perfect for busy schedules.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds raw, because roasted would be showing off
- 1 cup dates pitted, unless you enjoy dental work
- 2 tbsp coffee ground, because whole beans won’t mix well
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder for that deep, rich flavor
- 1 tbsp almond butter holds everything together like a good life coach
- ½ tsp vanilla extract optional, but why skip it?
- Pinch of salt because contrast makes flavors pop
Instructions
- Toss the almonds into a blender and pulse until finely chopped. Don’t overdo it, or you’ll end up with almond butter.
- Add dates, coffee, cocoa powder, almond butter, vanilla, and salt. Blend until the mixture sticks together like a good excuse.
- Scoop out portions and roll them into bite-sized balls. If it’s too sticky, chill the mixture for a few minutes.
- Pop them in the fridge for at least 20 minutes—if you can wait that long.
- Eat, enjoy, and pretend you didn’t just have five in a row.
