Raw energy balls

I created this recipe in collaboration with Kenwood Ireland using my newly gifted Kenwood Multi pro compact + one of the best food processors I have used. The energy balls were ready in a couple of mins and they were blitzed to perfection.

With a built-in scale as well it makes it so much easier to measure the ingredients and there is no need of using a separate kitchen scale, perfect for a small kitchen, looks fab and fits every household. It comes with various attachments which helps in creating variety of dishes.

I have always been a Kenwood lover, it was one of our first food processors we purchased 5 years ago and it made life so much easier in the kitchen, with chopping, grating and so much more.

For this recipe I have used fresh dates, just make sure to soak the dates in water for at least an hour. If you do not have the time you can soak it in warm water for half an hour. I would suggest using soft medjool dates they are easier to blend.
