As a busy professional or on-the-go type, you probably know how challenging it can be to balance work, meetings, and personal commitments, leaving little time for meal prep or healthy snacks. That’s where energy balls come in—they’re quick, convenient, and packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients to keep your energy levels steady throughout the day. You can make them in advance, store them for several days, and grab one when you’re on the go or need a quick boost. This energy ball recipe helps you avoid unhealthy and unnecessary snacks and stay focused and productive.
Makes: 10 energy balls (1 per serving)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats (or quick oats)
- 1/2 cup almond butter (warm if needed)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 handful mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, pour in the oats.
