These superfood energy balls take a mere 7 ingredients and only 10 minutes to whip up. Make a batch today and you’ll have a portable healthy snack option for the week!
In an effort to prepare for today’s post we thought about what detoxing means to us and came up with a recipe to share. If I hadn’t been assigned the snack category I would have probably done a salad recipe. I love salads and in my head, detox = mountains of veggies = salad. Luckily I was forced out of my comfort zone because 1.) I already have a million salad recipes here (including a detox salad recipe) and 2.) the energy balls I’m sharing today are really good. Like, really really good. And they’re totally detox approved in my book.
A little more about my balls, they’ve got a base of heart-healthy oats, almond butter and dates with a few superfood berries studded throughout. They’re healthy enough for a detox but sweet enough to satisfy a sweet tooth craving. This week I’ve been using them as a pre-workout snack before early morning workouts and as an after dinner dessert option.
I used a mega antioxidant blend of berries that had golden raisins, cherries, blueberries, pomegranate, inca berries, goji berries and mulberries. Mulberries are my favorite dried berry flavor wise, but I love the pop of color that the other berries add.
The best part about this recipe is that it’s highly adaptable. Feel free to experiment with your favorite dried fruit or use other add-ins like coconut flakes or chocolate chips.

Hi, does anyone know if I can substitute the ground flax seed with almond meal? Thanks!
Brittany’s recipes are easy to adapt to whatever you have on hands. I’m sure it would work as wheat germ, chia seeds or anything in that dry category. I’ve subbed millions of things in her ball recipes and they are always good. Too dry, add more dates, prunes, water…, too wet add more oatmeal, barley flakes or any dry ingredient. Experiment and have fun surprising your tastebuds!
These were great. I made them with honey. Thank you for the recipe. I’m doing a de-tox and these are a lovely treat to look forward to after dinner:-)
So glad you enjoyed these, Jane!
Hi there,
The superfood berry mix doesn’t seem to be available any longer. What would you use instead?
Thanks
Hi, I need to know what weight the ingredients are. I am in UK and not sure if a cup is different size wise?
Why on earth is there all the other rubbish beforehand. I wanted protein balls not a detox! It really put me off and I’d rather investigate if the recipe sounded good. (Which it does and I’ll be trying. Can’t beleive how much rubbish is on the page too.
