Raw, organic Apricot-Acerola Energy Ball

🍪 Since energy balls are raw, they concentrate the characteristics of all the ingredients that make them up:

The apricot is rich in antioxidant carotenoids, which is what gives it its color. These carotenoids are precursors of vitamin A, which protects against age-related macular degeneration and aids in good twilight vision. They also increase resistance to infections. The apricot is a very good source of potassium, making it particularly suitable for athletes due to its anti-cramp action and maintenance of hydration in cells. It also provides vitamins K, B3, and B5, as well as copper and iron to your body.

Almonds are primarily composed of lipids, in the form of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. These "good fats" protect the cardiovascular system and therefore limit the occurrence of Heart diseases. Its good balance between omega 3 and 6 helps regulate cholesterol levels, thus protecting the arteries and ultimately, the heart. Rich in proteins, they are alkalizing. With almonds, you get plenty of Vitamin E. Antioxidant, it is essential for many mechanisms in our body. In addition, along with omega-3s, it makes the skin more beautiful, promotes hydration, and limits cellular aging. Finally, it contains numerous minerals, including a large amount of magnesium.

Cashew nuts are, like almonds, rich in unsaturated fatty acids which protect the cardiovascular system, unlike saturated fats. Good source of minerals, the Copper and phosphorus are directly involved in the formation of collagen (a protein used for the structure and repair of tissues), hemoglobin, and cell membranes. Magnesium helps maintain our energy and actively participates in the production of "happiness molecules" to keep our spirits up daily. And of course, they are antioxidants.

Dates are rich in fiber, so they regulate intestinal transit and relieve constipation. The potassium they contain ensures communication between neurons and other cells in the body, and is, among other things, a protector of the nervous system. Dates provide you with numerous vitamins (C, B1, B2) but especially iron! This is ideal for preventing anemia and managing your red blood cell production. Finally, they are what will settle your stomach and quickly reduce the sensation of hunger.

Acerola is very concentrated in ascorbic acid (or vitamin C). It plays a role in major functions of the body: defense against viral and bacterial infections, protection of blood vessel walls, iron assimilation, antioxidant action (captures free radicals), healing...

To summarize:
- Rich in vitamin C
- Strong antioxidant power
- Anti-fatigue
- Relieves digestive disorders

Fruits blended with Medjool dates, cashew creams or almond purées, raisins, and superfoods suited to his health, that's how, little by little, in part, they met the challenge of freeing him from the tube without any weight loss or deterioration of his health. In short, energy balls mixed with fruit or vegetable purées...
