Raspberry Coconut Energy Balls

*This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for more info.
Some people also call them bliss balls, others call them energy bites. Whatever term you want to use, these raspberry coconut energy balls are the perfect snack to give your body a burst of energy. They’re made with fresh raspberries, shredded coconut, coconut flour, sunflower seeds, rolled oats, and protein powder. They’re great for kids and adults and the perfect snack to keep stored in your bag or lunch box to avoid purchasing unhealthy foods when you’re out and that hunger feeling strikes.
If you’ve never tried making energy balls before, they’re a whole recipe category in themselves. Energy balls can be made in a variety of ways, like my chocolate quinoa energy balls recipe for example.
Energy balls are like the perfect healthy alternative to cookies and sugary baked goods. Their specific goal is to load your body up with healthy ingredients that will give you a burst of energy, hence the name.

RASPBERRY COCONUT ENERGY BALLS ARE HIGH IN PROTEIN
So if you’re looking for a superfood snack that’s loaded with protein, then this is it! The protein from these energy bites comes from sunflower seeds, rolled oats and protein powder. And the shredded coconut is full of healthy fat. What’s so great about a snack that’s high in protein and healthy fats? It will give your body long-lasting energy and can even help to aid in natural weight loss. So yes, these little energy bites might be small, but they’re mighty!


HOW TO MAKE THE RASPBERRY COCONUT ENERGY BALLS
I love a no-fuss healthy snack, don’t you!? Here are the quick steps to make them:
- Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until everything comes together. The batter will stick together when you press it.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop out the batter and roll it into balls.
- Roll the balls in shredded coconut.
- Let chill in the fridge on a baking sheet for at least one hour.
- Enjoy 1 or 2 as an afternoon snack.
Do you need a new food processor to make all your healthy recipes? This is the one I use and love.

As I was making these, I decided to coat some of the energy balls with shredded coconut and some without. When you’re rolling the energy balls in the shredded coconut, you will have to press the coconut into the ball. This will help it stick much easier. Either way, these are really delicious and so easy to make. Throughout the week I had one of these as an afternoon pick-me-up. They’re not overly sweet, and the raspberries taste like they infused the energy balls. The texture is almost like a cookie dough or cake ball, but waaaay healthier.
