Vegan Walnuts Energy Balls – 2 Ingredients
It’s almost the end of February and it’s a high time to start preparing your body for summer months. We want to encourage you to take care of your health by implementing workouts at least twice a week! If you are already working out regularly WELL DONE! In this name, we want to introduce to you our new recipe – Vegan Walnuts Energy Balls – which is one of the tastiest and the best post-workout snacks.
These energy balls are by far the softest we ever made. One thing to note when you are making this recipe is to be careful not to over grind the walnuts because the balls will be too oily. As you all know if you grind any of the nuts for a few minutes you can get a nut butter, in this case, we don’t want that :). This recipe has just 2 ingredients and an incredible taste.

All of these recipes, including our new Walnuts Energy Ball recipe, are 100% vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free!

- 1 cup (125g) of walnuts

INSTRUCTIONS
- Add walnuts to a food processor and process on high until finely ground. Remove 1/4 of grounded walnuts and save for later.

NOTES
