How To Make Healthy Energy Balls

1. Place all ingredients into your blender
2. Blend until well mixed, adding 1-3 tbsp. water (1 tbsp. at a time) if the mixture is too dry to blend well
3. Add honey to the blender if a sweeter energy bite is desired
4. Roll into bite-sized balls

Let's take a closer look. 

Add all ingredients into your high-speed blender or food processor.

Scrape sides as needed.  Add 1- 3 tbsp. of water as needed if more moisture is needed for blending. 

Next, add honey to taste if you'd like your healthy energy balls to be a bit sweeter.

Blend until mixed well and roll into bites sized servings.

The best part of this healthy peanut butter ball recipe is how versatile it can be.  Try the following swaps:

• almond butter or sun butter in place of peanut butter
• add honey for a sweeter energy ball
• add flax seeds or chia seeds
• coconut or other dry fruit
