Hello friends! I’ve got an easy and healthy recipe that can be thrown together in under 10 minutes! This recipe works as a delicious breakfast, snack or dessert option. It’s power balls (also known as energy balls)!

These power/energy balls taste like healthy cookie dough and make for the perfect energy filled pick me up. I’ve got 5 flavor options for you listed below. Pick your favorite and try it out (or try out all 5 like I did)!

2. Pick your flavor option and add the necessary ingredients.

3. Stir until well combined.

Recipe Notes:

1. I used unsalted almond butter for all my recipes. If you’re using unsalted nut butter, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the base recipe.
2. You can use cocoa nibs or unsweetened chocolate in the place of chocolate chips to keep it even healthier!

Diet-Friendly Notes:

1. This recipe is gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free!
2. To keep it vegan, simply use maple syrup instead of honey.
3. If you’re allergic to nuts, simply use sunflower seed butter instead of nut butter!
