Oat energy balls are a snack made mainly from old-fashioned oats and dates, rolled into bite-size balls. They offer good carbs, fat, and protein, plenty of fiber, and all-natural ingredients, and their round shape makes them easy to take anywhere. They’re a healthy snack for when you’re hungry, a quick boost before a workout, or a treat to pack for the kids. Energy balls are super easy to make: in this video I share three flavors, each needing only 5 simple, natural ingredients. Just blitz everything in a food processor and roll into balls. No baking required, and they’re gluten-free, free of refined starches, and fully vegan.
