Autumn’s the time to heave a sigh of relief, store away the bikini and snuggle back into all-forgiving, baggy jumpers and boots.

But you know you shouldn’t – you should carry on with that exercise regime to keep the body beautiful and healthy, whatever the time of year. Here’s a recipe that might make it all a little easier.

These Watercress Power Balls are great to eat before or after exercise for added energy, but to be honest, they taste so great they’re perfect simply as a healthy snack at your desk!

How To Make Watercress Power Balls:

Preparation: 20 minutes
Cooking: 0
Serves: 6

Ingredients:

20g watercress

30g pumpkin seeds

40g Medjool dates

25g whole hazelnuts

10g puffed brown rice

Pinch of ground turmeric

Pinch of cinnamon

Pinch of Himalayan pink salt

1 tsp cacao powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp Manuka honey

5g chia seeds

Juice of ½ an orange

Watercress Power Balls Method:

1. Pick the watercress leaves off the stalks and finely chop.

2. Place the pumpkin seeds in a food processor and blend until chopped to a crumb-like consistency. Reserve half of the pumpkin seeds on a plate and add the rest back to the blender.

4. Divide into 12 balls and roll in the ground pumpkin seeds to coat.

5. The balls can be kept for 3-5 days in a refrigerated airtight container.
