Midnight BALLS

+QP +SF +GF

This recipe is nothing short of a crowd pleaser. Chocolaty energy balls are low in sugar and high in healthy fats—a kind of dream snack for the health enthusiast in your life. They’re a serious contender for best dessert when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to overdue it. A few midnight balls are a great choice to end the night. —MR

MAKES 12 BALLS

⅔ cup (112 g) unsalted almonds

⅔ cup (78 g) rolled oats (gluten-free)

⅓ cup (60 g) almond butter, or to your liking

2 tbsp (14 g) raw cacao powder

3 tbsp (42 g) coconut oil

3 tbsp (45 ml) nut milk

⅓ cup (57 g) Medjool dates, pitted

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamom

Pinch of salt

Blend all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Then roll the mixture into small balls and enjoy! I like to store mine in the fridge or freezer for a preworkout snack and for a midnight (more like 9 p.m.) treat.
