Cashew Coconut Balls – Raw, Vegan, GF and Only 3 Ingredients Needed!

My favourite…just a few minutes, a few ingredients and presto: a healthy snack is ready to go! I love these raw energy bites as pre-workout snack before early morning training sessions. I don’t have much of an appetite at 5 am but I still need some energy for the gym and these cashew coconut balls are the perfect solution! They’re delicious, oil-free, super easy to make, have no added sugar and are ready in minutes.

Be Prepared, Eat Well

I really believe that being prepared is the key to healthy eating. We’ve all got action-packed days and if we’re not prepared, it can be difficult to consistently make healthy food choices. Being hungry makes healthy food choices even more difficult.

I couldn’t get by without doing at least some food prep on the weekends. I like to make a couple snack recipes, chop veggies and make a few entrees ahead of time to make weekday life much easier. I’m usually pretty hungry when I get home from work and if I don’t have something quick and easy to eat, I tend to grab whatever snacks I can find before I even start making dinner. Before I know it, I’ve added hundreds of extra calories to my day.

I’ve shared a few posts about how I do vegan meal prep and planning. I don’t know what I’d do without it!

Simple recipes like these cashew coconut balls are great for food prep because they only take a few minutes to make, they’re portion-controlled and they’re perfect for packing along with you on busy days to help manage hunger.

Cashew Coconut Balls

With just 3 simple ingredients this is hardly a recipe, but they’re just so easy and yummy why not share! These delicious, flavourful balls of energy only require 3 whole food ingredients:

• unsweetened shredded coconut
• dates
• raw cashews

I really like to add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavours but that’s totally optional.

Mix, roll, EAT. That’s it!
