Energy Balls are easy to make, healthy, and delicious. These little balls are full of oats, fruit, and nut butters. Energy Balls are the perfect snack to throw in your handbag, they are the perfect healthy snack, or perfect to satisfy a sweet tooth. Whether you are craving something sweet, indulgent, zesty, satisfying, or fruity, these energy balls will satisfy whatever your craving might be.

Below I have 4 super easy Energy Ball recipes. They are all easy to make, nutrient-rich, and absolutely delicious. So, make Cookie Dough Balls whenever you need something chocolatey, Peanut-Butter Balls whenever you want something satisfying and full of protein, or make Lemon Coconut Balls when you need something sweet and refreshing.

Recipes:

1. Peanut-Butter Energy Balls:

Ingredients:

1 Cup Oats

2/3 Cup Creamy Peanut-Butter

2 Tbsp honey

1/2 Cup semi-sweet dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

1) Add all of the ingredients into a food processor and blend until the nuts are well mixed together. You want to try and get a “dough” consistency. If the ingredients are not mixing well together you can add water or almond milk to the mixture to make it easier to form into balls.

2) After the ingredients are mixed well, start forming the dough into little energy balls. And store the balls in the fridge.

3) Enjoy!

*The instructions are the same for all of the different recipes!

2. Lemon Coconut Energy Balls:

2) After the ingredients are mixed well, start forming the dough into little energy balls.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
