Easy no bake sweet and salty energy balls
One thing you’ll always find in my fridge?
Energy balls!
Why?Because they’re easy to make, convenient to eat, and always hit the spot!
I change up the blend almost every time I go to make them, but my energy balls always include a wide variety of good-for-you nuts and seeds, some kind of nut or seed butter (nuts, seeds and butters are always raw, unsalted and unsweetened), and blend of sweeter ingredients such as pitted dates, dried cranberries and syrup (I like to use maple flavored sugar-free syrup to keep the sugar content of the overall recipe as low as I can).
Don’t have all of the ingredients below on hand? No problem! Substitutions are easy in the case of energy balls. So feel free to use what you have and include ingredients with nutrient profiles that you believe suit your specific needs.
Enjoy! And don’t forget to share your thoughts and favorite kind of energy ball in the comments below!
