Whenever I drop by for a visit, this little one always asks

“Do you like energy balls Nana”

then she says, “I like energy balls, would you like one Nana?”

All in order to secure one for herself, of course, because she loves them!

My gosh how she’s growing up fast!

So is this little one!

These are quick to make with minimal ingredients you likely have around your kitchen.

Chia seeds are nutrient dense, high in fiber, protein and Omega 3 fats. Flax seeds give us fatty acids, fiber and lignans. Flax should be ground so I’ll make sure to buy that the next time.

When the mixture comes together it easily pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Many of these ingredients can be swapped out.

My daughter makes them with chopped apricots and cranberries. I’ve made these before as well.  These are Sunflower Bliss Bites

and these are Vegan and Gluten-Free No Bake Energy Bites

The weather here has been wildly hot then cold, I heard it might snow tomorrow, I’m hoping not!
