Golden Ginger & Citrus Energy Balls
(Makes 16 / 15 minutes + 30 minutes chilling)
Keep these in the fridge all week – they’re the perfect answer to the 3 p.m. energy slump. No baking. No fuss.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup rolled oats
• ½ cup desiccated coconut, plus extra for rolling
• ½ cup almond or peanut butter
• ¼ cup honey or date syrup
• Zest of 1 orange
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
• Pinch of black pepper
• Pinch of salt
Method:
- Mix all the ingredients together until the mixture holds when pressed. If it’s too dry, add a little more honey. If it’s too wet, add a few extra oats.
- Roll into walnut-sized balls and coat with desiccated coconut.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Why it works:
Oats: slow-release energy and beta-glucan for immune support. Nut butter: protein and healthy fats. Chia and flaxseed: plant omega-3 fats for mood. Orange zest: vitamin C. Turmeric and ginger: daily anti-inflammatory support.
