Energy Balls

By btaylor

This is an easy snack recipe, stripped from anything unnecessary – feel free to add anything extra you like. You will need oatmeal and nut butter for the base, berries for the flavour and a binding ingredient, we use banana for binding and flavour but you can use milk or water.

It’s really easy to make: just mix everything together and chill in the fridge for a few hours. The high protein, high fat content makes them a high satiety snack but a few of these ball with coffee will work as breakfast, too. Keep chilled in the fridge at all times.
