Easy Nutty Balls

Do you need a fast snack? These protein-rich, nutrient-dense nutty balls recipes are ideal for snacking throughout the week.

Combine your favorite healthy nutty ball ingredients in a food processor, pulse until smooth, roll into a ball, and enjoy. Here is my favorite recipe, as well as a base recipe from which you can get creative and depart. These balls are a densely nutritious snack made from dried fruit, nut butter, seeds, and other add-ins that offer the flavor of dessert in a truly healthy form.

They’re the healthy and delicious snack to make at the start of every week. These moreish nutty balls require only seven ingredients and less than twenty minutes to prepare. Use the recipe as it is, or add some of the suggested add-ins to make it your own.

Nuts are among the best sources of plant-based proteins. Nuts are known not only for their delicious taste and convenience, but also for being loaded with essential vitamins and minerals.

Nuts come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Almonds, pistachios, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, and other nuts are commonly found in raw mixed nuts. They’re easy to find in practically any grocery store, and they provide much of the vitamins and minerals our body requires.
