No Bake Energy Balls | Birthday Cake Protein Bites | Vegan
It’s time update your snack game kids! I know, I know it’s my THIRD blog post about Energy Balls this week. What can I say? I like them balls! These are ones I created for all you parents out there. I know it’s tough to get your kiddos to east healthy (ier, ish) snacks, so these ones look fun and colourful for your picky eaters.
The base of any good No-Bake Energy Ball is oatmeal, nut butter, and dates and/or agave. You can mix in literally anything else you want suit your tastebuds’ style, or whatever you’ve got laying around. I always have SOMETHING on hand to make these guys. Which makes a quick make ahead breakfast easy-peasy. Plus they’re kid approved. I know, I know, you’re like “…but Candice YOU don’t have kids!” and you would be right- but I know kids and as with all my recipes, I had them taste tested- this time by KIDS! These are also fun for adults, and can be made in advanced. They store well, freeze well and travel well. Any questions? Try my Chocolate Blueberry flavoured ones or these Chocolate Chip Walnut ones as well!
