CHOCOLATE CHIP ALMOND ENERGY BALLS

BALLIN’

I love energy balls. I keep buying them in cafés, so, I figured it was about time I made some of my own. What I love is they are so customizable. Once you get the premise of how to get them sticky enough (dried fruit, agave or honey, nut butter) to hold the drier ingredients (oats and nuts) together—they rest is up to your taste and mood. I have a strong feeling I’ll be making more and more balls in loads of flavors. I know, I can feel it, you are just as excited as I am!
