3 Super Easy Ideas for Energy Balls

I love experimenting with these energy balls and invite you to try these three variations and then get creative with new ideas! For me, they are the perfect dessert, but also a great idea for a quick breakfast or snack!

Three of these energy balls contain a high amount of fiber, magnesium, vitamin E, and other micronutrients.

If you want to get a more intense chocolate flavour, add dark cocoa. Moreover, this version will be particularly rich in iron, as cocoa contains about 7 times more iron than beef.

You can prepare them in advance for the whole week and store them in the fridge, using them for breakfast, as a snack, or as a dessert!
