Gather all the ingredients and place them in a food processor. First the dates, then the nuts, chia seeds, coconut and cocoa powder.
Run the food processor until all ingredients are finely ground and well combined. The mixture should have a sticky consistency. Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls. Press each ball firmly to ensure it holds its shape.
Place cocoa powder on a deep plate. Roll each energy ball in the cocoa powder until evenly coated. For best results, refrigerate the energy balls before serving. Chilling helps them firm up and enhances their texture.
Serve these Chocolate Energy Balls as a nutritious snack or dessert. Enjoy them on the go or as a quick pick-me-up during busy days.
