I'm on pinterest a lot when I have some free time. I love it when I find an easy recipe for foods where I have all the ingredients on hand. I can make what I find without spending any money. Win, Win!
I came across PB Energy Balls from spoonful.com. I thought this sounded good to make for Nate so he'd have a go-to snack that would give him some energy when he needed it. Especially, after a run or at work when he's getting tired. The recipe for the energy balls seemed easy enough so I figured I would give it a try. I didn't have all the ingredients listed so I used what I had and made it my own.
I used:
1/2 cup of reduced fat peanut butter
1/3 cup local raw honey
tsp homemade vanilla extract
1/4 tsp of cinnamon
water
1 cup of oats
chocolate chips (eyeballed it)
peanut butter chips (eyeballed it)
craisins (eyeballed it)
sliced almonds (eyeballed it)
I mixed together the peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth. Mine was kinda dry so I added a little water and then it turned smooth. :)
I then added the cup of oats and some chocolate/pb chips, craisins and sliced almonds.
Mix until combined. Here's what it will look like.
I then covered and put in the fridge for about an hour. After an hour, I brought them out and then
rolled the mixture into balls.
These are a hit! The best part is you can make them to your liking by adding whatever you want.
Nate absolutely loved these. He wants me to make some more this week.
I put them in a tupperware container and keeping them in the fridge.
