No Bake Mocha Energy Balls – Recipe

Published on by mumof3musketeersLeave a comment

Mocha Energy Balls

Keep energised with these mocha flavoured energy balls.

We’re big fans of no bake and energy balls in our house and are constantly thinking of new recipes. I personally think that homemade ones taste far better than any shop commercialised. They are much more fulfilling and with each batch you can make up to 25 balls at a fraction of shop bought prices.

These balls only have 1 tbsp of coffee in them plus I used decaffeinated, so they shouldn’t give you too much of a buzz (unless you eat them all – which is possible as they are very moreish)

No Bake Raw Banoffee Bites

Published on by mumof3musketeersLeave a comment

After making my last batch of raw millionaire bites it made me think how nice they would taste with some banana. So I adapted the recipe and sure enough another perfect treat that consists of four different layers that melt into each other. Not only are these little beauties rich and smooth in taste but they are healthy too. Packed with nutrients, vitamins and minerals that help provide energy, anti inflammatory, reduces the risk of anaemia and boosts the immune system – to name but a few.

Bananas do contain sugars but these are natural occurring sugars A medium banana contains around 14 grams of sugar but they are also filled with nutrients that your body needs for good health, including fibre, potassium and B vitamins.

These bites are perfectly balanced out with a smooth melt in your mouth cashew base, topped with the sweet banana and the gooey date and cacao that adds in a depth of richness.

No bake Protein Balls

Published on by mumof3musketeers1 Comment

My eldest boy is currently into eating healthy and his fitness. He swims 3 times a week and runs twice, as well as participating in other activities. He is very active. He has been asking about making up some protein balls for snacks. Looking through recipes online we came up with this one.

Protein is needed to repair the muscle after a workout and helps build the muscle back.

These no bake protein balls are ideal for any active person but also make a healthy snack for children packed full of goodness. They are so easy to make even the children can make them. Store them in the fridge or make up a big batch and freeze them until needed.

Mould them to the size of a walnut and place back in the fridge ready to eat. Don’t be put off with how they look, they may look like something that you would hang out in your garden for the birds to eat but they taste amazing. The texture is soft but with a crunch. They are soft and smooth

You could roll your balls into coconut flakes, oats, sesame seeds or nuts once done.

Add them into children’s pack lunch, give them to your children after school for a snack before dinner time or eat them after a workout.

Hope you like them 🙂
