These baobab infused appley energy balls are the perfect fuel to keep you slayin, grindin or for when you’re getting your sweat on.

Baobab is an African superfood. The fruit pulp powder has a slightly sour taste so rolling the balls in it as well as including it in the bites, gives it a nice tangy coating which pairs really well with the sweet appley middle.

HEALTH TIPS: Boabab Powder has 6x Vitamin C of Oranges, 2x Calcium of Milk, More Antioxidants then Blueberries, Goji Berries and Acai berries and 2.5x the Protein of Kale! Plus antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These no bake balls preserve all this goodness by keeping the powder unheated.

I’m SUPER impressed and touched by Dhow foods, not only for their high quality baobab and other products but their mission. When you pick up a pack of Dhow’s products your making a difference to some of east Africa’s most vulnerable people. It so nice to see a company giving back and doing their bit.
