Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
Hi Vanessa! I like to keep these energy balls in a sealed container in refrigerator. They will definitely keep well for one week. Though, I’m sure they will be gone much sooner!)
This looks so good! Does the nut flavor come through much?
Hi Suzan! These energy balls are based on nuts and dates, so they do have nut flavor. Though, I wouldn’t say that it’s too strong rather than well balanced!
I just made the same today, except that I didn’t add cranberries and flax. I like the idea.
Thak you, Anvita!
