    Energy balls are the best! They are super easy to make, satisfy your sweet tooth, and can fuel your body with a healthy, energizing snack without the crash.  But a ton of these energy ball recipes are based with dates, or add a ton of maple syrup/honey to sweeten them. While I love these natural forms of sugar (in moderation), sometimes your body needs a totally sugar-free treat.IMG_8499

    These bites are super rich and creamy from the cashews and peanut butter, you don't even notice the missing sugar! The Chia seeds give you a boost of energy while the fats from the nuts and coconut will keep you satisfied.

    Lots of recipe requests on Instagram - so here it is! Make sure to follow me for more recipes!


    Ingredients: 

    • 1 Cup Raw Cashews
    • 1 T Chia seeds
    • ½ Cup Chunky peanut butter - all natural and liquidy
    • ½ Cup oats (GF if needed)
    • ¼ Cup Coconut flakes
    • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract or vanilla powder*
    • Cinnamon, to taste

    *Make sure you are using pure Vanilla Extract, and not imitation Vanilla Flavor/extract, which is often full of additives and unwanted ingredients such as Corn Syrup and Sugar.
    The McCormick Premium Imitation Vanilla Extract ingredients are: Water, Alcohol (26%), Natural Flavorings (Including Extractives Of Cocoa And Extractives Of Tea), Vanillin And Other Artificial Flavorings, Corn Syrup, And Caramel Color.

    Recipe:

    1. Put everything except for cacao nibs in food processor and process for ~1- 2 minutes. It should go from something resembling rice to something more sticky
    2. Add in cacao nibs and pulse again.
    3. Roll into bite size balls and pop in the freezer/fridge to firm up. If you put them in freezer, let them thaw for about 1 minute before enjoying!
    4. Post a photo of yours on Instagram, don't forget to tag me @thegranoladiaries and use #thegranoladiaries so I can see your creations!

      I made these for my son who has a sweet tooth. I rolled them in coconut and he really liked them! I wanted to post a photo of my effort but can't seem to on here.
      Thank you!
