Watercress Power Balls Recipe

Watercress Power Balls: Great To Eat Before Or After Exercise. Hello friends, so how are you today? Do you also fancy making some Watercress Power Balls? Because I do.

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.

Watercress Power Balls: Great To Eat Before Or After Exercise. 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!

Do I need any special kitchen equipment to make energy balls? Not really! A mixing bowl, a spoon, and your hands are usually enough. However, a food processor can make the process easier, especially if you’re using ingredients like dates or nuts that need to be finely chopped.

Can kids help make energy balls? Are energy balls a good recipe to make with kids? Yes, energy balls are a great recipe to make with kids! The process is simple, and kids can help with mixing and rolling the balls only.

It’s also a fun way to introduce them to healthy ingredients and cooking. What better way to introduce Watercress to kids, too?

Just let them help out and if you are using a food processor, you can do that bit and let the children roll the ingredients together into a ball afterwards.

How To Make Watercress Power Balls:

Watercress Power Balls Method:

How To Make:

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.

3. Add all other ingredients to the blender. Blend on full power until everything is thoroughly combined and the mixture has come together, which may take a few minutes.

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