Collection: Energy Balls & Date SnacksDate-based snacks

Energy balls and date snacks bring together what goes well together: dates, nuts, cacao and spices. We look for snacks whose sweetness comes from the fruit and whose ingredients speak for themselves. From a filled date with single origin cacao to a bar with mushrooms and spices. Small, handy and almost too good to share.

Date-based energy balls

The terms are often used interchangeably. They mean small snacks based on dates, combined with nuts, cacao, seeds or spices. Dates bring sweetness, structure and a caramel-like flavour. That makes them the ideal base for a snack that needs little else. And they pair well with many ingredients.

We look for makers who work with a few good ingredients. Single origin cacao, roasted nuts, sea salt, pistachios or sesame: the combinations vary, the idea stays simple. Some bars add mushrooms such as reishi and plants such as ashwagandha, which come from traditional cuisines and rituals.

Energy balls go with matcha and coffee, in your bag and on any desk. They also make a lovely small gift for friends. If you are looking for a bar with a different recipe, have a look at our protein bars. Other fruit and chocolate are in Fruit Snacks & Chocolate, all snacks in Food.
