In a food processor pulse together 100 grams of nuts/seeds and 100 grams of dried fruits together with a pinch of warm spices. Add a tsp of maple syrup or adjust to taste and preference. I occasionally add 1 tsp of ground ashwagandha. Blend all the ingredients until the mixture sticks together. Scoop out the mixture and roll them into bite-size balls. If the mixture is too sticky add a few drops of water. These are your energy balls which can be stored in the fridge.
