Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dates 230g
  • 1 cup raisins 160g
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds 140g
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • ¼ cup milo 45g

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients into a food processor, blitz until the mix comes together into a mouldable 'dough'. Be patient, this will take around 5 minutes.
  • Take tablespoon sized scoops and shape the mix into balls, if you wish you can roll the milo balls in a little extra milo, refrigerate.
  • Eat and enjoy

Notes

Substitutions

  • Dates: If you don't have dates, up the quantity of raisins
  • Raisins: If you don't have raisins, up the quantity of dates or substitute with sultanas.
  • Pumpkin seeds: These can be subbed for sunflower seeds, or nuts such as almonds, cashews or walnuts.
  • Coconut oil: You can actually skip the coconut oil, I just find you. get a better mouthfeel if you include it, but the milo balls are fine with out it.
  • Milo: You can use any malted drinking chocolate such as Ovaltine, or plain unsweetened cocoa works just fine as well.

Tips

  • Be patient, just when you think the mix will never come together in the food processor, it all of a sudden will.
  • Damp hands and equipment. No matter what bliss ball, energy bite or protein ball you are making, the mix is usually quite sticky. Use damp hands and a damp spoon and the strawberry balls will be much easier to roll.

Storage

These milo balls do best stored in the refrigerator they will be fine for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.
