Tips
Dates are high in fiber, minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins A, B1, B2, B3 and C, as well as vitamin B6.
Pumpkin seeds are an excellent source of zinc and calcium.
Cashews promote the function of the immune system.
Cacao can release neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which improves mood and reduces the sensation of stress.
Energy balls last 5 days in the fridge.
If the dates are very hard, soak them in water for at least half an hour before making this recipe.
