I love to enjoy these energy balls as a mid-morning or afternoon snack when I need a boost of energy. They’re also great to take with you on the go, whether you’re heading to work, running errands, or hitting the gym. Plus, they’re kid-friendly, so they make a perfect addition to school lunchboxes or as an after-school treat.
