These nutritious 3-ingredient energy powerballs are the perfect balance between sweet indulgence and a healthy treat that you can enjoy everyday. They are refined-sugar free, gluten-free and kid-friendly. Pistachios are bursting with the fiber, protein, healthy fat and antioxidant compounds that can help keep your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol in check. The fiber and protein in those nuts can make you feel fuller for longer. Figs contain plenty of fiber, vitamins and minerals and ensure that these bites are filling for a long time.

 
  • 150 g Raw pistachios
  • 200 g Soft dried figs, with no added sugar and cut into small pieces
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  1. Place 100 grams of pistachios and chopped figs in your food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and the mixture begins to bind together.
  2. Divde the mixture into 25 even portions and shape each into a ball.
  3. Finely grind the remaining pistachios and roll the balls in it. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

  5. I do like something sweet about mid-day and these energy bites are the perfect, healthier remedy! They look tasty (when I was very little, my mom would buy us fig cookies so these definitely remind me of her!).

  13. I'm in love with that brown plate set!
    Raw sweets have become the only sweets I eat now as sugar gives me weight. But why raw pistachios why not dry roasted, I always buy dry roasted nuts for my energy balls as they give them splendid flavour. But love the green colour!

    I actually made raw energy bites too today, with oatmeal, roasted almonds, dates, cocoa and my fave carob. I hate mincing dates, but that is the only sweet I can eat these days.
