ENERGY BALLS | Sunnysoul

Hey! Today I bring you the recipe of one of my favorite snacks …
They are called “energy balls” and are great for taking to the beach, before or after workout, as a snack while traveling or even for dessert …

They are super easy to make and sooo delicious!
These 3 are my favorites and they are completely different in flavor and texture.
They are a sweet snack because the base is made from dates which is a natural sweetener and very satisfying thanks to the oats and nuts.
If you know any other combination I would love it if you wrote it in the comments and I’ll try it, please …
