rose and pistachio energy bites

Hi Everyone! I hope you’re having a wonderful Summer so far. I’ve certainly been enjoying the sweet spell of London sunshine we’ve had in the UK. This week I wanted to share a delicious new recipe I’ve been working on which is perfect for enjoying out in the garden with a refreshing iced tea.

I partnered up with East End Foods to deliver you this recipe, and it features their Rose Water, Cinnamon, Ginger and Pistachios to create a delicate but decadent sweet treat. I always use ingredients from East End Foods as their products are the highest quality available and are sold at such a great, affordable price point.

These energy bites are really quick and simple to make – all they require is a strong blender or food processor (I use an Optimum G2.1 Froothie Blender) to break down the ingredients into the perfect smooth, squishy consistency to be pressed into a ball shape. Summertime is just one of those months where I want to be out in the sun as much as possible – so quick, easy recipes are always essential. I hope you enjoy these!

rose + pistachio energy bites

makes 24

ingredients

1 cup (150g) East End pistachios

1 cup (150g) ground almonds

1 1/2 cup (250g) pitted dates 

2 tbsp dried rose petals 

1 tsp East End ground cinnamon 

1/2 tsp East End ground ginger 

2 tbsp East End rose water 

method

1. Add all the ingredients into a high powered blender/food processor. I use an Optimum G2.1 Froothie Blender.
2. Blitz all of the ingredients until they have completely broken down and formed a smooth, slightly sticky consistency.
3. Then, remove the mixture from your machine and roll the mix into about 24 evenly sized ball shaped bites.
4. Once this is done, move the bites into the fridge or into a container in a cool space to keep between eating. They last about 3-4 days.
