No Bake Energy Balls
These energy balls are jam packed with nutrients and so easy to make. You just throw all the ingredients into a food processor and then role into balls. Sometimes, I will double or triple the batch, and press into a square pan, then cut into squares and wrap in parchment paper, so I have energy bars for after the gym or when I go on hikes. My teenagers love to snack on these little treats, whether they are made into balls or energy bars, the taste is the same- DELICIOUS
