Copycat Booster Juice Midnight Booster Ball
⚠️ Safety note: Use food-grade activated charcoal only. It can interfere with the absorption of medications and supplements. Avoid within 2–3 hours of any meds, and skip if pregnant/breastfeeding unless a healthcare pro says it’s okay.
A no-bake snack that looks like a truffle and eats like an energy bite: cocoa-nutty, lightly sweet, and jet black.
Ingredients (8–10 balls)
1 cup rolled oats
¼ cup cocoa powder (Dutch-process)
1 tsp food-grade activated charcoal (up to 2 tsp for darker)
½ cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
1 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional, for body)
¼ cup mini dark chocolate chips
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Stir oats, cocoa, charcoal, flax, and salt until evenly gray-black.
Add peanut butter and honey; mix to a sticky dough.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Roll into balls (about 1 tbsp each).
Chill 20–30 minutes to set.
Finish & tips
For the “midnight matte” look, roll the chilled balls in a dusting of black cocoa (less messy than loose charcoal).
Too dry? Add 1–2 tsp warm water or honey.
Too sticky? Add 1–2 tbsp oats.
No-charcoal option: Replace charcoal with 2 tsp black cocoa and a tiny dab of black gel.
