DIY Energy Balls
These energy balls are my go-to snack! I make a batch of these weekly and keep in the fridge. These contain quick carbs from the oats and syrup making them a great pre-workout snack, can serve as a quick energy boost while on the trails, and are packed with omega-3s from flax and nut butter to promote recovery and fight inflammation.
Ingredients:
1 cup quick oats (or can use normal oats, I just prefer the consistency of quick oats!)
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/2 cup nut butter (peanut, almond, sunflower, etc.)
1/3 cup maple syrup
Add-ins (chocolate chips, coconut flakes, chopped nuts, dried fruit, cinnamon - your chance to be creative!)
Steps:
Mix all ingredients together in bowl
Roll into balls
Refrigerate for at least 30 mins
Enjoy!
Store in fridge for best texture.
