    Instructions

    1

    Soak the dates in some warm water to make them easier to process later.

    2

    Weigh all other ingredients and put them in a high-powered blender.

    3

    Remove the dates from the water, take out the pits (your blender will thank you!) and add them to the other ingredients.

    4

    Now it's time to blend: Blend your mixture in intervals, pushing the sides down each time. If it feels like it's not mixing, add a little plant milk.

    5

    Once you have a loose mixture that can be kneaded like dough, remove it from the blender.

    6

    Shape small balls (about 1 tbsp per ball) with your hands and roll them in your toppings. If the toppings don't stick, moisten your balls with the date soaking water or some plant milk.

    7

    Store your protein balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

    Recipe Note

    While energy balls used to taste rather bland and were just a means to an end, today's recipes are super refined and incredibly delicious. That way it not only feels good, but also tastes great. Protein balls are the perfect snack for all health-conscious and sporty people.

    Toppings

    Toppings make your protein balls EVEN better. Here are some ideas that go well with our Protein Balls recipe:

    • Standard: coconut flakes, cocoa powder, cinnamon, sesame
    • Crunchy: nuts (chopped), soy crispies
    • Fruity: dried and chopped berries, fruit powder
    • Fancy: matcha powder, chia seeds, vanilla powder
    • For chocolate fans: chocolate sprinkles, cocoa nibs, chocolate coating

    Pro tip: Split your dough and use different toppings for variety. That way your balls never get boring. Or get together with friends, make different kinds, and swap – you'll end up with a delicious protein ball selection.

    Substitution Table

    • Dates → other dried fruit like apricots, figs, cranberries, or ripe banana (use less milk)
    • Nuts → seeds or oats
    • Nut butter → coconut oil or tahini
    • Chocolate protein powder → other protein powders or ground oats
    • Plant milk → any plant or dairy milk, or date soaking water

    FAQ

    Why protein powder in the recipe? Extra high-quality protein keeps you fuller and supports muscle recovery.

    Can I replace or omit the protein powder? Yes – see substitution table. Replacing with oats lowers protein content.

    Is the recipe easy? Yes! Give it a try and you’ll want to make them all the time.

    How to store? Airtight in fridge for a week or freeze for later.

    Can I make without dates? Yes – use other dried fruit or banana. Just make sure to include some form of sweetness.
