Tahini-Coconut Energy Balls

Makes 10-12 tablespoon-sized balls

One of the easiest ways to avoid a mid-afternoon crash is to keep a sweet, energy-packed pick-me-up on hand. These balls have it all: protein, fiber, healthy fats. Keep ’em in the fridge or freezer for snack time. Take ’em on an airplane to avoid paying $20 for a bad sandwich. Give ’em to a hangry friend.

  • ½ cup almond meal
  • 2 tablespoons dates
  • ⅓ cup tahini*
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes, plus more for rolling
  • 2 tablespoons honey (sub maple syrup to make it vegan)

Instructions

Blend all of the ingredients in a food processor until you get a firm dough. Turn the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper and roll it into balls (about 1 tablespoon each). Fill a small bowl with a good handful of coconut flakes. Roll the balls in the flakes to coat completely. Store in the fridge or freezer where they’ll keep for months.

*Not all tahini is created equal. We love Philly-made Soom for its silky smoothness without a hint of bitter.
