Superfoods Energy Balls

These superfoods energy balls is a recipe many of you were waiting for! Those who follow me on social media know already that last Sunday I had the pleasure of cooking live at Bio Festival, along with my favorite chef Dina Nicolaou. I made two recipes for energy balls in order to show easy and practical recipes to incorporate superfoods into our daily diet.

My participation in Bio Festival was a great experience! Beyond the good organization, I was glad to see how many people care for their diet, get informed about the beneficial properties of various foods and choose carefully what they put on their table. I also enjoyed getting to know online friends and listening to all these words of love!  I thank them from my heart for coming to see me!

Let’s say a few things about the recipe. It is based on cashews and dates, like most energy balls. A bit of salt, combined with dates and peanut butter, gives the feeling of salted caramel. The “innovation” is their coating, consisting of 4 different superfood powders:

• moringa, a very good antioxidant, high in vitamins A, C, E, B, iron, potassium, calcium, boosts the immune system and fights stress. It, also, contains plant protein
• maca, which contains iron, magnesium, calcium, zinc, iodine, sodium, copper, silicon and manganese, and vitamins B1, B2, B12, C, E. It is a natural aphrodisiac and tonic, relieves symptoms of menopause and helps balance the functions of the human organism
• blueberry powder, the number 1 antioxidant. Read here more info
• raw cocoa, another powerful antioxidant, with many beneficial properties, for which you can read here.

You can also use other coatings, which I suggest below. After 2-3 days in the refrigerator the balls are even more delicious.

The second recipe I made at Bio Festival, apricot and fresh turmeric energy balls are coming up in a few days.
