These easy no-bake energy balls are quick to make, call for simple ingredients, and are one of my go-to homemade energy bites! Use our recipe below as a guide. Many of the ingredients can be substituted (for example, quick oats for rolled oats or flaxseed meal for chia seeds). You can also add some extra ingredients based on your needs. Protein powder, for example, is a nice addition (I’d use 1 to 2 scoops).
