Pour the following ingredients into a blender and mix them well together:
1 cup pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
10 soaked and peeled almonds
10 pistachios
1 cup shredded coconut
½ teaspoon cinnamon
A pinch or two of nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
12 pitted Piarom dates
⅔ cup grated carrot
2 teaspoons tahini
3 tablespoons honey
(You can replace the cinnamon and nutmeg spice combo with saffron, cardamom, and rose powder — or even just vanilla.)
If the mixture turns out too stiff, add a bit more honey. If it’s too soft, add more shredded coconut.
Place the mixture in the fridge for about 20 minutes to firm up slightly. Then put a bowl of shredded coconut beside you, roll small portions of the mixture into balls with your hands, and coat them in coconut powder. your energy balls are ready!
