Homemade energy bites

A lot of us rely on caffeine to get us through busy days, but did you know that there is another way to get a big energy boost?

Our homemade energy balls are ideal for when you’re on the go and need a quick pick-me-up. They’re quick to make, small enough to take with you and are virtually mess free!

Plus, if you swap out a few cups of coffee each week, you’ll use less energy, save money and avoid using disposable coffee cups.

1. Pulse the dried fruit in a food processor and transfer into a bowl.
2. Pulse the nuts and seeds until finely chopped and add to the dried fruit.
3. Add in the dash of cinnamon, ginger, orange zest and a pinch of salt.
4. Knead everything together and form small balls about an inch wide. Roll each ball in sesame seeds or desiccated coconut.
5. Alternatively, spread the mixture onto a lined baking tray, leave to chill and cut into small pieces.
6. They’ll last for several days and can be frozen too.
