Recipe: No-Bake Peanut Butter & Chia Energy Balls
Snacking is something I am guilty of and it’s usually the naughty snacks, so I’ve been testing out healthier alternatives that are supposed to be filling and tasty.
This week I have been eating these no-bake energy balls after seeing various recipes on Pinterest and creating my own version to suit my tastebuds.
I’ve been having one or two of the energy balls as snacks and they taste quite nice. They do seem to fill me up and half an hour later I have a bit more energy which is most definitely welcome!
If you want to give them a try here is how I do them (pin the image to your Pinterest board for an easy way to keep the recipe):
No-Bake Peanut Butter & Chia Energy Balls
(makes 24)
Ingredients:
2 cups oats
1/8 cup of chia seeds
1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup of peanut butter
1/2 cup of honey
Mix the ingredients together, then chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
Get an ice cream scoop or spoon and use these to scoop and shape the energy balls.
Keep them in the fridge, and you can always freeze half the batch to save you making them too often.
