    per portion
  • 2 x Jaffa Juicy Oranges, zested and juiced
  • 1 x Cup of Pecans, grounded to flour
  • 1 x Cup of Medjool Dates, pitted
  • ½ x Cup Almonds, grounded
  • 1 x Large Handful of Dried Fruit
  • 1 x Pinch of Nutmeg
  • 1 x TSP Vanilla
  • 1 x TSP Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ x TSP Ginger (or more, to taste)

Optional: Maple Syrup if you like it sweeter

For Decorating:

  • 100g x White Chocolate
  • 1 x TSP Coconut Oil
  • Edible Holly Sprinkles
  1. Soak the Medjool Dates in hot water (use enough water to just cover the dates) for ten minutes.
  2. Once the Medjool Dates have soaked, place them in a blender and blitz to a paste, adding small splashes of their soaking water until you’re done. Then set aside.
  3. Stir together the Pecans, Jaffa Juicy Orange zest and spices until combined. Fold in the date paste, dried fruit and a squeeze of Jaffa Juicy Orange juice.
  4. Roll the mixture into balls (you can add a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweeter hit, if desired), adding more ground almonds if the mix is too sticky. Then chill for 20 minutes.
  5. Melt the white chocolate with coconut oil, then drizzle over each energy ball. Decorate with edible holly sprinkles.
  6. Enjoy!
