No Bake Energy Balls

 

 

I saw this recipe last night and was craving something sweet and thought it would be a good alternative. My husband loves them as well, I will be making these on a regular basis! Such a yummy, easy and healthy alternative to a cookie. I packaged them in snack size zip lock bags with about 3 balls each so we can grab on the go when we need a pick-me-up or headed out the door. I only had whole flax seed, so I ground it up in my Magic Bullet and that worked just fine.
