There’s a special place in my kitchen cupboard dedicated to all those crazy life-enhancing ‘restorative’ health foods I’ve purchased in a guilty haze after overdoing it or when I’m feeling under the weather. Zip lock bags of spirulina powder, maca powder, wheatgrass and wheatgerm all shoved to the back ready and waiting to anoint a bowl of porridge or salad. Endlessly waiting because of course, this is something I never, ever do.
Back in the day when I had actual time and evenings I could call my own, I would sometimes attend hot yoga classes where they would sell these little balls made of spirulina, ginseng, raw cacao and all manner of other crazy ‘superfoods’, for an extortionate amount of money. Full of ‘healthy’ protein, they’re supposed to be the perfect energy bombs in portable snack form. I’m not sure how good for you spirulina and maca powder really are, I know they’ve been called ‘superfood superheroes’ but personally, I don’t really buy into the whole superfoods thing. I just remember them tasting incredibly delicious.
Desperate to decimate the junk in my cupboards, I wondered how hard it might be to make my own. Not hard at all as it turns out. Don’t worry if you don’t have all of these ingredients, the key thing is to bind your oats and powders with the apple juice, so use whatever you have lurking around. Muesli and almond butter rolled in flakes of dried coconut is another delicious combination (in retrospect I wish I’d left the wheatgrass out as it truly is disgusting stuff). These handy little balls are the ideal thing for stashing in your bag and quelling those on the go late-afternoon munchies, perfect for us busy types who don’t always want to nibble on rubbish.
