APRICOT ENERGY BALLS | LIGHT AND ZESTY

Energy balls are such an understated snack. They’re high calorie and can be packed with protein or fat, perfect fuel for a long day or a good gym sesh. This energy balls are dried apricot based and are really light and zesty perfect for summer when chocolate or dates won’t cut it.
80g apricots
20g goji berries
50g pistachios
50g cashew nuts
Juice 1/2 lime
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch salt
All the best,
Dave & Steve.

I hope you two realize how beautiful it is that you are helping others empower themselves. Thank you for the positive influence, knowledge, and inspiration you imbue.

[@sahamal_savu]

This is my recipe that I make into bars all the time but you could make balls or cubes or whatever shape you want :)
350g chopped, pitted dates
90g raisins
150g walnuts/cashews/pistachios/etc.
75g hemp hearts/pumpkin seeds/sunflower seeds
3 - 4 tbsp peanut butter (almond is delicious as well)
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch kosher salt
I also do a coconut chocolate version with shredded coconut instead of the nuts and seeds and I add about 4 tbsp of cocoa powder and 1 tbsp of coconut oil.

Thanks for sharing, I will give it a try, sounds yummy aswell.

[@jeanneamato8278]

We probably don’t thank YOU enough!

[@katharineofarrogant7805]

Squish mixture into an ice cube tray and freeze for half an hour. Nice cube shapes. Fun times!

[@lisalaurel1352]

thank YOU so much guys! :)
my fave so far was a roasted almond oat cocoa date mix 😋

[@harrisonquinn3515]

i always laugh at them talking over each other, getting frustrated. typical twin brothers lol

[@IlariaOmi]

I was expecting the "YO DUDEs" at the beginning of the video!

[@name.terrie]

Love this recipe and the freedom for variations. I have a silicone ice cube tray that I use as a mold. Each energy ball becomes a tsp bite. When I make balls, I often roll them in vegan protein powder. Thanks for sharing this recipe, guys! You rock!!!

[@Apocalypz]

*oooooo* I bet those freeze marvellously.

[@thehappypear]

Oh wow we never thought of freezing them, let us know how you get on

[@francesandrews5506]

I make energy balls all the time, always keep them in freezer for when I need them 😄

[@itsadancepartyy]

Dave testing his elbow on the little food processor point at the end really tickled me for some reason 🤣

[@gaiasoundandvision]

I love making different variations of energy balls. In this version I would use the unsulpherated natural dried apricots, but apart from that it looks great ~ thanks! :)

[@catherinefrank6981]

Dave & Steve...are you Twins? I guess so. I Love you both. You two are cute!!!!....and moreso the twin pears positioned at the corners on the board behind you. Wish you both roaring success!!!

[@shannonduarte1257]

Love this thanks! Even if I can’t convert gram measurements 😂 I see that it’s equal parts dried fruit to nuts/seeds + flavorings. Easy-peasy!

I think this was the most calm welcome ever 😄

[@francesandrews5506]

Love protein balls 🥰😂
Will add theses to my recipes x cheers lads 🥰🥰

[@jmk1962]

Great quick recipe, thanks. Would be great if you could put the ingredients in the description below.

[@thehappypear]

Thanks just added the ingredients there 👍🏼😄

[@MarcioCapuera]

yammy !!

[@patriciamalone3553]

I got your grams. So you need a scale to get the measurements?. So much easier to use cups ...tablespoon...teaspoon, etc.

[@henrymichal8522]

looks great, glad you didn't add one of "Those" protein powders. What are the macros per ball?

[@poppymiyonga5396]

How long can these last in the fridge for?

[@kristinhelenayoga]

Looks fab! Will make when come back from holidays. Also, where is Steve's cool greens t-shirt from?

[@thehappypear]

We can’t remember it’s so annoying 😭

[@Paperbutton9]

thanks boys

[@tomdeblink6080]

Ah smart trick to slice the apricots before you put them in the food processor. I need to do that next time thanks!

[@thehappypear]

Using a scissors is a handy tip 😀

[@staceymcgrane8699]

Have you guys got a recipe for energy balls without nuts for back to school. My boys school has a strict no nut policy? Thanks

[@d.rabbitwhite]

Hey...The big book seller in my area says they can no longer get your books into their store. I'm on the west coast of Canada. Do you know why this is?

[@petegriffiths7004]

Can more different protein balls please

[@thomasterroge]

Do you know how long it would remain edible at room temp?

[@user-od9xe5oy5s]

Guys why don't you answer to the comments anymore ?

[@neverforgettodofacepulls782]

He does. He made several comment replies here if you look.

[@rajjy1976]

Estrellita Because they’re too busy talking over each other 😒😒

[@user-od9xe5oy5s]

@@rajjy1976 Haha I love this!! 💕💕 they are not the happy pear if dave won't interrupt Steve to talk about his love for tamari every 2 seconds

[@imichelle95]

YO DUUUUUUUDDDEEES!

[@lucywk7635]

Cacao and 100% peanut butter 🙂

[@VickyMorrisonFineArt]

I added oats and which gave it a creamier taste - preferred by the children.

[@mohammedalqam3417]

What's the best food processor to make nutbutter ? 🤨

[@BeingReal1]

Mohammed Alqam A Vitamix is the absolute BEST. Beats any other blender hands down!

[@JRsttl88]

Omg throbbing vains in his arm is about to burst!!!
