These Salted Margarita Energy Balls will have you thinking “it’s 5 o’clock somewhere!” Perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast, afternoon energy boost to power you through that 3 PM slump, or an after-dinner treat, this recipe for Salted Margarita Energy Balls is the answer 😊 Meal prep once, enjoy all week!
Serves: 10 (22 energy balls)
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 0 minutes
What (your ingredients):
1 cup raw cashews
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
Zest and juice of 1 lime
Pinch of salt
8 medjool dates (softened in hot water for 5 minutes if not already soft)
To serve: Maldon sea salt
How (your directions):
To a food processor, add the cashews, oats, coconut flakes, zest and juice of 1 lime, a pinch of salt, and the dates.
Pulse 10-15 times, then blend on high until a dough ball forms or the mixture sticks together when pressed between your fingers.
Roll a heaped tablespoon of the mixture into a ball between the palms of your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Serve by topping the energy balls with Maldon sea salt (to mimic the salted rim of a margarita).
Why (the science): These energy balls are incredibly filling and satisfying due to the balance of healthy fats (coconut), fiber-rich starch (oats), and protein (cashews).
Most green juices on the market are sneakily loaded with sugar from too much fruit, fruit juice, or fruit concentrate, which can cause blood sugar spikes, inflammation, and weight gain. This Cucumber Lime Celery Juice is made with hydrating green veggies and lime, keeping sugar content low, while providing your body with vitamin C, chlorophyll, and antioxidants to boost your immune system.
Serves: 2
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 0 minutes
What (your ingredients):
1 large cucumber
4 celery stalks, rinsed
1 lime
2 cups cold water
How (your directions):
Slice the cucumber into 4 large chunks and add to a highspeed blender.
Chop each celery stalk into 2-3 pieces and add to the blender.
Squeeze the juice of one lime into blender. Add 2 cups of cold water.
Blend on high for 1 minute.
Place a nut milk bag into a pitcher. Pour cucumber lime celery juice through the nut milk bag, and squeeze the bag until all the juice is in the pitcher and only the pulp remains in the nut milk bag.
Enjoy immediately or store in fridge for a day to be enjoyed later!
Why (the science): Green juices do not contain fiber, healthy fats, or protein- so don’t replace meals with them. However, this green juice provides an additional way to hydrate and helps you get more antioxidants in your body between balanced meals!

I regret not getting on the cauliflower rice bandwagon sooner, because it really is so easy and so delicious! The great thing about cauliflower rice is that it acts as a base for any flavor profiles you want to add. My cauliflower rice dish is a play on a burrito bowl, using lots of smoky cumin with refreshing lime zest and juice. Top it with avocado slices, salsa, and sriracha hummus, or perhaps grilled chicken or fish! Serves 2 generously
Flaky, seasoned whitefish, sweet and juicy mangoes, cool and refreshing cucumbers and a crunchy slaw elevate tacos to something fresh and light! Not to mention, they’re ready in 15 minutes Serves 2 generously
