13 October, 2021 . 0

These no-cook snacks are fun to make with the kids. The red beet powder looks great and is packed with powerful antioxidants.

Ingredients

90 g (1 cup) rolled oats
70 g (1/3) cup smooth almond butter
60 g (1/3) cup apple sauce
2 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
2 1/2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
40 g (1/2 cup) desiccated coconut
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp red beet powder, plus extra to serve

Method

Step 1.
Place the oats in a food processor. Blend on high until very fine.

Step 2.
Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor; pulse several times until the mixture resembles an even dough. If it’s too dry, add a splash of water and pulse until incorporated.

Step 3.
Turn out the mixture; divide and shape into balls between your palms. Arrange on a tray, cover with clingfilm, and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.

Step 4.
When ready to serve, transfer to a platter and garnish with more red beet powder, if desired.

For 12 balls or for 4 – 6 servings.
