Quick and Easy No-Bake Energy Balls Recipe

I swear by these quick and easy no-bake energy balls! I make them in the beginning of the week so I have them made for when I need a quick pick me up. They are so easy to make and taste amazing. You can even make them as a dessert they’re that good. I usually keep these in the fridge and put them in a container or plastic baggy to put in my backpack on long class days. These are a healthy protein packed snack that’s perfect for on the go.

The peanut butter is filled with healthy fats and fiber. Peanut butter is full of protein so it’ll give you that energy boost you need. The flax seeds will give you all the fiber you need to keep going throughout your day. I choose to put chia seeds in my energy balls because I usually have them around the kitchen. Chia seeds are rich in fiber, omega-3 fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals. So they fit perfectly with the rest of these ingredients.

Ingredients:

2/3 cups creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons Honey

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1/2 cup flax seeds (ground is an option as well)

1/2 cup chia seeds (optional)

1 cup old fashioned oats

Instructions:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir to combine. I usually place the bowl in the fridge for about 10 minutes before I start rolling them so it makes it easier.
  2. Roll into bite-sized balls (usually makes around 12-16). Keep in fridge for up to a week or so.
