I've been thinking about making energy balls for a long time. I thought about the deliciousness and ingredients that were easily available in the area I live in.
But then the problem that arose was that I didn't have a food processor. Most energy balls recipes use a food processor.
So I thought about how I can make energy balls with the tools in my kitchen. To do that, I have to rethink what ingredients to use on these energy balls.
I'm glad I finally made energy balls without a food processor. I will share the tips with you. But before I share my version of the energy balls recipe, I want to first discuss the typical Indonesian coconut plant that is different from coconut tree varieties in other countries.
This discussion also follows the challenge of Ten Indonesian Medicinal Plants by Natural Medicine.
INDONESIAN COCONUT
The general characteristic of Indonesian coconut is that it is bigger than other types of coconut. The larger size of the Indonesian coconut produces more coconut meat and water. In addition, old coconut produces more coconut milk.
COCONUT FOR ENERGY SOURCES FOR THE BODY
Water and meat coconut both contain carbohydrates which are good sources of energy for the body. They are also high in fruit sugar (fructose) which is low in glucose so it won't cause a rise in sugar in the blood.
So coconut is very good as a source of energy booster for the body.
COMBINATION COCONUT WITH DATES AND BANANAS
Don't stop at the nutritional richness of coconuts, I'm also going to bring you the nutritional wealth of superfood dates, as well as the scent of bananas!
I'll blend them into delicious energy balls!
NUTELLA, PLEASE?
NUTELLA is optional. You can use it in the energy balls recipe this time or not.
For my version, half of my dough uses Nutella to cover the balls before I roll them into roasted coconut. Meanwhile, for another half portion, I did not use Nutella and immediately rolled the balls into the roasted coconut.
COCONUT DATES ENERGY BALLS
Ingredients
- Grated Coconut, 200-300 grams
- 2 pieces of ripe bananas
- 5-10 pieces of dates
- Nutella for coating balls to taste.
HOW TO MAKE

STEP 2
STEP 3
STEP 4
STEP 5
STEP 6
STEP 7
STEP 8
That was how to make energy balls with coconut ingredients, dates, and bananas. I'm so happy I was able to make my first energy balls without a food processor. This is an important achievement for me.
What do you think about my Coconut Dates Energy Balls recipe? Are you interested in trying them out?

Oh I've seen a lot of recipes with the brown coconut with this is the first time I'm seeing a recipe with green coconut. Looks very tempting 😋
Hi, I love coconut and dates, I make somethimg like but with pineapple. They look delicious but I can not eat sweets. Well done.
We can combine it with savory ingredients so the taste is not too sweet :)
I like that because I have problems with sugar. Thanks for the replying.

Youre the best!!!
Thank you!
I need a couple of these, I love the coconut flavor and the sweetness of the date conjugated with the coconut must be a delight!!!!
Indeed, delight! :)
Wow... So simple... I mean the grating of the coconut is a tedious task, but the rest of the recipe is so simple. I thought that you also needed to roast those energy balls in the over or something. Looks delicious.
We serve them cold or yeah roast the first :)
I wanna ask, why are they called energy balls? I don't think I have heard that before.
All ingredients you used here are easy to come by but I don't know about Nutella if we have that here but I check out.
You can search on the internet and you will find similar "entry balls" because the ingredients mostly 'dates' and 'coconut' as energy sources for the body :)
Oh, I see. Now that just answered the question already, thanks
❤️
This looks amazing and very yummy too.
My wife love Nutella and she will definitely try this as we also got some coconut this week. What a coincident.
Thanks a lot for sharing.

These look delicious, thanks for sharing. I love all kinds of no-bake cookies and treats. As always, beautiful photography, and presentation in addition to a delicious recipe.
A little sidenote - Nutella is not vegan as it contains dairy. I used to eat it a lot back in the USA before I went fully vegan. There are some vegan alternatives to Nutella, but they are mostly very expensive and hard to find.
Blessings and hugs from the whole family in Suriname.
