No Bake Energy Balls
In brand collaboration with Place of Origin, this recipe is a part of Belly Nirvana program with Plattershare. Under this program, I received Oman dates and Quinoa.
I have used Fard dates many a times. But the moment I opened the pack of Oman dates, the quality difference was clearly visible. The crystal clear dates seemed handpicked for me. Eat these dates and if you have been eating dates, you will fall in love with them. These large, moist and plump Oman dates had small seeds.
After every meal, my ladoo needs something sweet. That is like too much of sugar every time he picks a muffin or a chocolate. So I thought of making ladoo, for my ladoo. Something that is sugar free and still sweet. Made these no bake energy balls. These are completely gluten free energy balls. Because the ingredients of these energy balls does not call for any dairy/animal product, you can call them vegan energy balls.
Few other term them as protein balls as the protein intake from these energy bites are high. Almonds, Pistachios, cashews, and walnuts have high protein level that makes our no bake date energy balls rich in proteins. The dates in date energy balls brings the sweetness and act as binding agents for all the nuts.
This no bake energy balls with dates is my alternate to make him eat all the nuts and dates together. When he was out for school, I quickly made it before he came back. As usual, after he finished his lunch, he started looking for something sweet to eat.
I told him that I have made ladoos for him, he was super excited. Opened the box and ate it. Loved it and ate two more. I then asked, if he can guess what the ingredients are? He kept guessing for about 2 minutes and guessed all the nuts.
But when he realized that the dark looking ingredient in the energy balls are dates, he was surprised. He was like, wow dates taste so good.
He has saved this recipe in his mind. The next time he will have cooking without fire competition in his school, he is going to make this recipe.
