Lambing & Tailing Anti-cramp, Energy Balls

by Lena Wells

Also great for ...

Anyone wanting extra energy

Growing busy children or children with growing pains and cramp

Healthy snack for work or on the go

A great method for silently dosing up unwilling supplement takers with a decent dose of highly absorbable magnesium, b vitamins and protein.

And I can honesty say I think they taste really good and can pass as a genuine tasty wee truffle. Also took me 20 mins to make. Would freeze really well and then you could just whip them out in wee batches.

I never panic if I'm missing an ingredient I'm a queen of swap outs so do not worry try something similar and see how they go.

  • Food processor or if your a bit fancy a vitamix is great

  • 1 cup medjool dates (I'm pretty sure our instore papaya and lime, raisins, sultanas, cranberries or ginger would all be great options too) shop now

  • 1 cup nuts (whatever you have. I had some cashews and some walnuts)

  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup cacao powder (instore) (the fancy organic one is nicer, nutrient wise but I've thrown in homebrand today because I have it on hand)

  • 1/3 cup of melted coconut oil (instore)

  • 1/3 cup shredded coconut

  • Pinch of sea salt (instore)

  • 1 Tbsp chia gel (made by mixing 2 tsp chia seeds with 2 Tbsp of water to form a gel) (instore)

  • 4 scoops of practitioner only Energyx (accessed by booking an appointment with Lena) or ethical nutrients magnesium powder. Shop now

  • 4 Dessertspoons of chocolate protein powder (plant based could be vital protein or red8 or Natava for a dairy one) shop now.

  • Optional superfood (I had some guana powder on hand but a greens, berry or maca powder could be nice too. (2 Dsp)

  • 2 Dsp organic, dark maple syrup (I'm a sweet tooth so I liked this but you could certainly leave this out) (available instore just bring in a bottle and we will fill it up)

Throw everything in the food processor and hit blend.

Blend till it forms a nice mouldable dough and then form into balls, roll in coconut and set in the fridge or freezer and eat.

I found I got about 20 balls which would mean 2 balls would equate to about a 1/2 scoop of magnesium which would be a therapeutic dose.
