Peanut Butter & Oats Energy Balls

Peanut butter is a great form of quick energy and provides us with all the good fats needed for a healthy diet. Choosing natural peanut butter may be pricier but it is the best option, as it contains no added palm oil or sweeteners. Oats have been proven to lower cholesterol and high blood pressure and are a great source of fibre, iron, phosphorus and selenium. Coconut flakes are there for the flavour but also provide the body with zinc, protein, fibre and iron. Dark chocolate is loaded with organic compounds that function as antioxidants and improves blood flow and helps to lower blood pressure. Honey contains antioxidants and anti-bacterial qualities, and works wonders for people who suffer with hayfever (works best when sourced from your local area).
