No-Bake Energy Bites with Ginger and Turmeric

These vibrant ginger and turmeric energy bites offer a sophisticated twist on the classic vegan snack. Combining the earthy warmth of turmeric with the gentle heat of ground ginger, these no-bake treats are balanced by sweet Medjool dates and creamy almond butter. The addition of pumpkin seeds and chia provides a satisfying texture, while the optional coating of crushed chocolate espresso beans adds a luxurious, bitter-sweet finish that pairs perfectly with the aromatic spices.

Perfect for meal prep or a nutritious mid-afternoon pick-me-up, these plant-based bites are naturally sweetened and high in fibre. They are an excellent make-ahead option for busy weeks, as they keep well in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy them as a post-workout recovery snack or serve them alongside a cup of green tea for a healthy afternoon treat that feels truly indulgent.
