These energy-boosting snack balls of tri-coloured toasted quinoa, pureed dried mango, nuts and oats, are the perfect lunch-box fillers or as a high-energy mid morning treat.
|
- Well rinse and drain the quinoa. Place them in a large nonstick skillet in a single layer over medium-high heat, stirring or shaking the pan occasionally, until it is lightly dried out and toasted, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Place quinoa, quick oats, flaked coconut, and dried mango in a food processor and process to a crumb. Add in almond butter and maple syrup and whiz for 2-3 minutes until the mixture forms a paste.
- Roll tablespoonsful of mixture into balls. place on a tray and then refrigerate until firm.

I bet these are delicious, and so healthful, too!
I have never used quinoa this way. Very interesting. How long do they last and should they be stored in a refrigerator?
I've only cooked quiona a couple of times with little success so I have a question about your recipe. Is the quinoa uncooked or cooked? I love toasting grains, but then I cook them afterwords so I'm curious. If uncooked, I can see these as been crunchy as well as very tasty.
@mjskit I just dry toasted the quinoa and used them in this snack recipe after cooling. And yes, they are crunchy. I had 5 at one go after strength training :-))
@Balvinder Ubi Yes, you need to store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. We finished them in 3 days.
Oh these are so cute!!
Thanks for sharing.
Love
These look pretty easy. I might give them a go at home. Thanks for the recipe.
These snack balls look like the sesame balls. These are so much healthier than the sesame balls!
I love the sound of these! I bet the mango gives it a great flavour!
Such a delicious and healthy treat, Angie. I've been searching for healthy, tasty and portable snacks!
these are perfect for my son who just got diagnosed with diabetes! thanks Angie!
These little bites are lovely Angie! I've made a quinoa granola and just love it. I know these would be a favorite in our house. Great photos too!
I love healthy snack bites, and these are just perfect, Angie!! I've never tried to use quinoa in mine, which is crazy since I adore quinoa! These are a must try for sure! Cheers!

Great way with quinoa, Angie! Bet they're delicious!
I'd love to keep these gems on hand for an afternoon snack that won't make me crash :)
I've been watching my hubby's snacking and meals and making them more protein-rich, rather than carb. He has so much more energy and has lost weight. These look perfect for snacking and I have quinoa in the pantry! Happy weekend, my friend, XOXO

These balls make just the perfect snack. I would like to make them for the children as a healthy snack.

I have shared this on a singapore foodie forum. :) Thanks again angies for sharing such a yummy guide!
Yum!! This looks so good. AND I have all of the ingredients. Bonus!!
Oh yum, I love snacks like this, so good! You have asked about ham cooker, it's a special dish to prepare any sort of European style ham or processed meat - homemade is healthy, with no chemicals☺ You can find it on Amazon to see how the dish looks☺
A lovely snack Angie, healthy and tasty.
I've never baked with Quinoa and I think it way overdue. These look like delicious energy bites, great recipe Angie. Have a great weekend
I want one of those immediately.
They look SOOO good!!! x
Super healthy balls of goodness! Love your innovative recipes...
What a healthy treat, I just love that they are portable and nutritious!
Yum! This is one hell of a snack, Angie. I would rather use honey than maple syrup, is that possible?
These are great no bake energy treats.
look so good Angie, we love quinoa !
how creative to turn quinoa to snack balls, looks yummy :)
So cute and nutritious!
Love these little snack balls and that you used tri-coloured quinoa here. So cute!

Very healthy and tasty bites for sure, Angie! They look delicious!
YUM!
What a delicious sounding healthy treat! I love the idea of using toasted quinoa.
It's so good to have healthy, tasty snacks around the house. These look like a smart satisfying treat.
Delightful healthy little treats!
Using tricolored quinoa is such a great idea - it makes these extra pretty. They look tasty as well!
Dear Angie, My daughter would love these snacks. I would as well but I would not be able to eat just one! Take care my dear. xoxo Catherine
These look so good Angie. I like the idea of maple syrup as a sweetener and binder.
I really can't have balls in my house because I am addicted and just want them ALL in my mouth. ;)
i never thought about toasting quinoa! what a delightful addition to these tasty balls. :)
That sounds like a great combination of ingredients. I didn't know three was such a thing as tri-colored quinoa.
Love your photos of these healthy snacks. The mango would be something my family would really enjoy
I love snacking on little energy balls like these. Love the idea of adding quinoa! Sounds lovely together with the almond butter and mango :)
I am sure you did. They sound too yummy!
These remind me of a a dessert we make in Greece not with quinoa but with barley rusk! These little bites look perfect!
So good for grab-and-go healthy bites :)
Can you please roll one of these balls to Malaysia? I want to crunch it.
I was slow to jump on the quinoa bandwagon, but now I really love it! These look so moist and chewy. Love the coconut and mango! So delicious! :)
I have been wanting to toast some quinoa. These quinoa snacks look really tasty.
These snacks balls look so divine. Love how healthy and delicious they are. Also loved those tri-colorued quinoa.
Sounds delicious and I have all the ingredients. I might give it a try these days. I need some healthy snacks to keep us going when we are having a late lunch on a busy day.
I've been wanting a good snack to keep at the office for when that afternoon slump hits. This would be perfect!
Ooh my, these sound even better than date balls and what a lovely idea to use quinoa.
Hi Angie! Look very yummy this snack! ;)
These look amazing, Angie!! I will have to try them soon. Maple syrup and almond butter might convince my kids to try a healthy "cookie" too. :)
