Snack Smarter: Try These Healthy Energy Ball Recipes

When hunger strikes, skip the junk and grab an energy ball, perfect for fueling your day. These little power-packed bites are the ideal snack to keep you energized and satisfied, without the sugar crash that often comes from processed snacks.


Made with wholesome ingredients like nuts, seeds, and fruits, energy balls provide a balanced mix of healthy fats, amino acids, and fiber, offering clean, sustained energy. Whether you're hitting the gym, tackling a busy workday, or just need a quick pick-me-up, these nutrient-dense snacks are a delicious and convenient way to nourish your body and curb cravings.


It is the food that you eat that would reconnect you with the energies of life, and then words are unnecessary because you could see. You’re connected.–Dr. Sebi

Best Ingredients for Energy Balls

Whenever you’re in the kitchen whipping up something delicious and nutritious, it's important to pick ingredients that taste great and also follow Dr. Sebi’s alkaline philosophy. Let’s take a look at some of the best ingredients you can use to pack your energy balls with nutrients and flavor.


  • Fruit: Packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, figs, berries, and bananas add natural sweetness and nutrients, supporting hydration and energy production.

  • Nuts: Dr. Sebi-approved options like sesame seeds, walnuts, and Brazil nuts are a great source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Plus, they help boost heart health and brain function.

  • Binding Agent: Soft-jelly coconut and sea moss gel hold everything together while boosting nutrition with essential nutrients.

  • Sweetener (optional): Dates provide fiber and a low-glycemic sweetness, while agave syrup, in moderation, is a mild sweetener that's gentle on blood sugar.

How to Make Energy Balls

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Choose your favorite fruits, nuts, and other options from the list above.

  2. Prepare Your Base: If using fruit like dates or figs, chop them into smaller pieces to make blending easier. Roughly chop nuts or use a food processor to pulse them into smaller chunks.

  3. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine your fruit, nuts, and any dry ingredients. Add the binding agent (soft-jelly coconut or sea moss gel) and your sweetener.

  4. Blend: Mix all the ingredients together until you have a sticky, cohesive dough. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more sweetener, binding agent, or a splash of water.

  5. Roll Into Balls: Once the mixture is ready, roll it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You can use your hands or a spoon to form them.

  6. Chill: Place them on a parchment-lined tray and chill them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.

  7. Enjoy: Eat them as a quick snack, pre-workout fuel, or midday energy boost!

How to Store Energy Balls

Storing your energy balls properly is key to keeping them fresh and maintaining their texture and flavor. To store them, simply place your energy balls in an airtight container. Keep them in the refrigerator, where they will stay fresh for up to one week.

Can You Freeze Energy Balls?

Yes, you can freeze energy balls! If you'd like to make a larger batch in advance, freezing is a great option. Place the energy balls on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze them for about an hour until they firm up. Then, transfer them to a sealed container. Frozen energy balls can last for up to 3 months, and you can grab them as needed, letting them thaw before enjoying.
