Energy balls

Not only gluten free but also low in sugar and vegan, these energy balls are perfect as a post workout snack. They are super easy to make. You just need to mix all the ingredients together really well, either by hand or with an electronic mixer and you’re ready to roll…the balls.

I find the addition of almond butter makes them smoother and more enjoyable but you can always substitute with peanut butter and also add some small seeds for example sesame or chia seeds.
