I posted a picture of the no bake energy balls that I made for my family on Instagram recently and so many of you have been curious about the recipe, so I decided to share it here on the blog. This No Bake Energy Balls recipe is delicious, healthy, and the perfect treat to curb your sweet cravings.
Just over a year ago my hubby was hospitalized and was diagnosed with a very serious blood sugar disorder. This was shocking for our family and the changes that we had to make to our diet were a huge adjustment. I went on a mission to find low sugar “healthy” treats that the entire family could enjoy. This no bake energy balls recipe (I also sometimes refer to these little nuggets of awesomeness as energy bites) is so yummy, and making them is so easy. *Some links in this post may lead to websites where we are an affiliate.
