Energy balls are the healthy alternative to traditional snacks such as cereal bars, which, in their industrial version, are often full of sugar. Rich in protein and good fatty acids, they are the perfect snack to take before a workout or at breakfast. Another good point:these balls are without cooking and require relatively few ingredients (dried fruits, oilseeds, powdered food, a sweetener such as vegetable oil and possibly a garnish). In short:easy to make and delicious!
