We all love easy, tasty treats especially when they’re good for us. Today’s energy balls make a quick breakfast with a hot drink, a wonderful lunch, and even a great snack. Around 3 PM when our energy level can drop, a little snack helps keep us going to finish the day.
These balls are no bake. Just combine the ingredients, make balls with wet hands, refrigerate a while, and you are good to go! Individualize to fit your taste or what’s in your cupboard. Refrigerate or freeze for a frozen treat!

They sound so good. Just need to add peanut butter to my shopping list. Love this kind of snack. #MMBC
Carol, this is definitely my kind of recipe. Definitely pinning for future use. TFS
let me know what you think!
They look delicious and seem easy enough. Thanks for posting.
Hope you enjoy it!
These look like a great, healthy alternative to the breakfast bars we buy for the children. Even better, I can get them to make them themselves! #mmbc
Yes I agree – it’s a fun project with a huge payoff of yumminess!
These are looking good and I have most of the ingredients except the chia, which my vet told me to buy for Lizzie’s diet so there you go! I’ll have to give them a try!
Do let me know what you think and remember you can add and subtract as you go.
These sound tasty and I love no bake snacks!
Me too – thanks for visiting!
I’m saving this one! Thanks Carol!
