Energy balls/squares

These are known as yummy squares in our house.
This is a very loose recipe & more of a formula really – you need bulkers, binders, sweeteners & flavours, & this is just one of millions of versions.
Hemp seeds are great in here because they don’t taste of much, & compared to most nuts & seeds they are very low in mineral-snatching phytic acid.
I keep oats to a minimum because when raw they can be difficult to digest, & I whizz up the goji berries into a powder just because they’re so nutritious but my kids don’t like them.
I favour almond butter but any nut butter could be used, as could different sweeteners such as date syrup.
They’re great to make with kids who like playing with concoctions because you can’t go far wrong, then you can stash them in the freezer to whip out in those ‘I’m huuuuuuuunnnnngg-rrryyyyy’ moments.
That said, I eat most of these in our house to keep my own hangryness at bay.
