If good things come in small packages, delicious things come in bite-size ones. No wonder bakeries keep rolling out oven-free energy balls-they’re packed with nutrients (protein! healthy fat! iron!) down to the core, low in sugar, and they make on-the-go popping easy.

Whip up these endurance-enhancing beet beauties (or, as we like to call them, “beeties”) from Brooklyn’s Husk Bakeshop and electrify your day.

Directions:

  • In a bowl: Mix 5 Tbsp buckwheat flour, 4 Tbsp cocoa powder, 1 1/4 cups almond meal, 9 Tbsp shredded coconut (dried, unsweetened), 1 Tbsp beetroot powder, and 3 Tbsp hemp protein.

  • In a processor: Pulse 1 Tbsp coconut oil, 14 pitted dates, 4 Tbsp water, and 2 tsp coconut or maple syrup until smooth. Add dry mix; blend.

  • Roll into 2-inch balls. Makes 13 balls.
