Quick & Easy Energy Balls
I am a snacker. Chips, popcorn, nuts, crackers, apples slices, cut-up veggies with hummus…you name it. My go-to snacks are basically anything that I can eat on the go or while I’m working. These energy balls are super quick and easy to whip up, take no cooking whatsoever, taste delicious, and are good for you! Win WIn WIN!
THE RECIPE
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed meal
- 1/2 cup peanut putter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
Once combined, use a small spoon to form into 1″ balls. Place on a baking sheet covered in waxed paper and chill about one hour.
NOTES:
About 3 or 4 of these make a great alternative to a Cliff bar! (Yay for decreasing waste!)
You can get many (if not all) of these ingredients in bulk at PCC, and for less than you can buy them in new packaging. Just bring a clean empty container, ask a cashier to weigh it for you, and fill it up.
Store them in a container in the fridge, using waxed paper between layers of energy balls to keep them separate and in ball form.
Waxed paper is compostable.
