Energy balls or energy bites. It doesn’t matter what you call them. If they’re homemade, they will most definitely be better than any processed store-bought, grab-and-go snack.
And this one is balanced with a 3:1 carb to protein ratio that is great for a post-workout snack too. Replenishing your muscles within 15-30 minutes of a workout will reduce your body’s recovery time.
Try them and let me know how you like them. Enjoy!
