These super tasty peanut butter energy balls are great in between meals, but they’re even good as a quick breakfast. I’m forever rushing the kids out the door for school and not having enough time to grab something for myself. These little babies keep hunger at bay and keep me from getting “hangry” in the car drop off line. I love that I can put together an easy snack that I can feel good about. No bake energy balls just easy and yummy, and those are two of my top criteria for any good recipe!

Variations for Energy Balls:
- Mix it up a little by swapping half of the chocolate out. Use 1/4 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips and a 1/4 cup of another flavored chips such as toffee, cinnamon, or white chocolate.
- If you’re not a fan of honey, try using agave nectar to sweeten these energy bites instead.
- Use almond butter, cashew butter or sunflower seed butter instead of the peanut butter.
- Swap out the pecans and almond for other nuts such as walnuts or cashews.
- Instead of the Barlean’s Flax-Chia -Coconut Blend, try their Barlean’s Energy Blend, which also include Panax Ginseng which may help your energy level.

I think I’ll make these with dried cranberries instead of the chocolate chips.
That’s a great idea! Any dried fruit would be good!
