Derek! You have outdone yourself! That platter looks pretty enough to serve for Christmas. I may just do that this year.
That is quite the idea!
Oh that would be a great xmas platter! You could even add some holiday spices too if you wanted.
đ đą đŞ đ
I like to roll energy balls in cocoa powder
Yes that’s a great idea!
Powdered sugar is good too. Not a lot, just a tiny bit
âThe only thing I like more than getting out in nature is eating some tasty snacksâ
lol where is the lie? :p
Often, I make beet balls with raw beets & dates as the main ingredients & roll them in beet powder & crushed Brazil nuts eaten as a dessert.
Oh those sound amazing
This is great! I was looking for energy ball recipes a while back and only found blog posts that spent 20 minutes talking about nothing before actually showing the recipe. Would love to see some high protein versions (aside from just dumping protein powder into the mix).
The lightswitch that went off in your head when you said “jam” while talking about the choc pb energy balls was priceless đ
haha thank you, I had a moment
@@Simnettnutrition you can try melting a chocolate and dip energy balls. Then put it to the freezer and the chocolate will harden around the energy ball – it will be crispy đ
that was honestly so cute lol
lol, that was so funny đ
Anything without chocolate….I’m here for!â¤
Allergic to peanuts so I’ll sub almond butter for those! And YES, JAM!!!!! A little dab of jam in the centers would make those PB&J or PPB&J (protein, peanut butter & jam!). yum!
Just drove 3,000 miles and had made a big container of these. Learned them from you a while ago and have been trying different variations. My whole family loves them. Thank you for being an inspiration!â¤
That’s awesome! They are such a great road trip snack!
I only need to buy 3 ingredients to make them all, perfect video my friend!
Awesome! enjoy đ
“Got That Grip” lol, we can always count on you for the laughsđ and Resourceful Recipesđ¤
Haha you read my mind! Iâve been checking out energy ball recipes this week. đđť Definitely going to try the peanut butter chocolate ones first.
Update – holy moly the choc PB are soooo bomb. I used âchocolate mylkâ blessed protein powder and these are straight up decadent. đ Thanks Derek!
Absolutely love these ideas! I feel like those Cranberry Tahini ones would be great rolled in cinnamon! (OK, messy to eat, but worth it.) Also, I really think those Carrot Cake ones would be amazing with some of that crystallized ginger and a pinch of ground mace. One of my favourites to make uses roasted unsalted peanuts, Medjool dates, vanilla, smoked salt, carob powder, and vanilla. P.S. Derek, loved your jam idea!!
Omggg the carrot cake balls are to die for. After one taste I immediately made a double batch. I added 1 pinch of cardamom and nutmeg, and a TBS of maple syrup and it was just sweet enough and helped it bind a bit as well. It tastes almost like a baklava! Thank you!!
Ooh that sounds so good, I’m going to try that
Great idea! Love the spice additions
@@TheSamMcKeownme too!
Your channel is a place I turn to when life has gotten rough, I’ve fallen out of self care, and I need inspiration and motivation to take care of my body and mind again so thank you for being around all these years! â¤
Okay, the ginger lemon ones sound AMAZING, such a great idea!
Agreed!
This is exactly what I needed. I moved 3 months ago and now I live close to the forest. This will be a perfect snack for my trips <3
Omg, thank you for putting the recipe in the description. That made it so easy đ
Derek’s face when he thought of putting jam on the peanut butter ones! Priceless.
Only Derek could impress me with energy ball recipes. He always puts in so much thought.
