Benefits of the Ingredients

Cashews
Cashews are naturally creamy and rich in healthy fats, plant-based protein, and minerals like magnesium and copper. They support sustained energy, brain function, and help make snacks more filling and satisfying.

Medjool Dates
Dates provide natural sweetness along with fibre and quick-release carbohydrates, making them excellent for energy without refined sugar. They also help bind energy balls together while adding a soft, caramel-like texture.

Ginger
Ginger is well known for its anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits. It can help support gut health, reduce bloating, and add a warming, invigorating flavour that balances sweetness beautifully.

(Certified Gluten Free) Oats
Certified Gluten Free Oats contribute slow-digesting carbohydrates and fibre, helping stabilise blood sugar levels and keep energy steady. They also give structure and make the energy balls more substantial.

These cashew and ginger energy balls are a perfect example of how simple ingredients can create something both nourishing and delicious — no labels, no extremes, just food that fits real life.
