Blueberry Lemon Energy Balls
These refreshing energy balls are the perfect healthy snack for when you’re on the go, need something small but filling before a workout, or craving a sweet treat! They use minimal ingredients, are super easy to whip up and can last in your freezer for months.
Want the perfect, sweet, zesty, light snack that will give you just the right amount of energy but is healthy for you? Look no further than these blueberry lemon energy balls, my friends.
These energy balls are so simple to make (as long as you have a food processor) and you can store them in the freezer for up to 2 months to enjoy. They’re packed with protein, antioxidants, and healthy fats to satisfy your hunger and give you energy without feeling totally full or weighed down.
A healthy, energizing, delicious snack
If you’re like me and crave sweeter snacks over savory ones, then these energy balls are perfect for you. I stay away from all processed sugar because it’s honestly so bad for our health, and there are SO many alternative natural sugars to enjoy instead! Some of my favorite sources of natural, unprocessed sugar are dates, honey, maple syrup, and fruit.
There are plenty of ways to use those ingredients to make things like granola, bread, and of course these energy balls. I love these energy balls because I can store them for a long time in the freezer, and easily grab them when I’m on the go - on my way to a yoga class, before I go for a run, as a quick breakfast if I’m running late for work, you name it. They don’t “melt” when they’re taken out of the freezer either, so I bring them with me even if I’m not eating them right away and I don’t have to worry about them making a huge mess.
Give them a try - I’m pretty sure they won’t disappoint!
