These no-bake energy balls make for the perfect pre- or post-workout snack! Whip a batch up in five minutes and fuel yourself with protein, fiber, whole grains and healthy fats -- all in one bite. Totally gluten-free and yet still rich and chocolaty, these feel like more of a treat than a snack food, but they're totally good for you!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted creamy almond butter
  • 1 cup Gluten-Free Chex Granola Mix Honey Nut, lightly crushed
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
  1. Mix all ingredients except the coconut in a medium-sized mixing bowl. (Can use a mixer or just your hands -- both will get the job done!)
  2. Roll tablespoon-sized portions into smooth balls using your hands. If you're using shredded coconut, roll the balls in coconut to lightly cover. Pop in the refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Enjoy!
