Tips and Variations

  • To add some extra protein to your energy balls, try mixing in some chia seeds or hemp seeds along with the oats.
  • If you find that your energy balls are too sticky, try adding a little more oats or honey to balance them out.
  • Experiment with different types of nut butter or flavorings, such as almond butter or cinnamon, to create unique variations.
