Vegan Almond Butter Goji Energy Balls

Ingredients (Makes approx. 28 energy balls)

Preparation

1. In a food processor, mix all the filling ingredients until they are well combined and stick together when pressed.
2. Shape the mixture into evenly sized balls, about ¾ in / 2 cm each. Refrigerate the balls.
3. Set up a double boiler and melt the dark chocolate.
4. Place about half of the puffed quinoa in a medium bowl.
5. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball lightly into the melted chocolate. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
6. Drop the ball into the quinoa and gently shake the bowl to coat it evenly.
7. Transfer the coated balls to a tray lined with parchment paper.
8. Repeat with the remaining balls, adding more quinoa to the bowl if needed.
9. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate hardens. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Almond butter adds healthy fats, protein, and a creamy texture. Goji berries bring natural sweetness and antioxidants. You can swap maple syrup for honey or agave if you prefer.
