Little blissful balls – that’s what these should really be named!
All of our energy ball recipes are highly popular and for a good reason. They are a perfect way to have a healthy snack, fill in any energy needs, use as a pre-gym/post-gym snack, or if you are like me, eat whenever you want to. Because hey, food is life! Enjoy it while you can.

But one of the things I like to do with these is to make a nice big batch of them, split them up into my desired serving sizes, and pop them in the freezer. They will last for up to 2 months. This method of storing makes it perfect to grab and go!
And that about wraps this up. Please make sure to share your energy ball photos with us!
